1954 Map of Hurricane Cliffs 2 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Hurricane Cliffs dominate the landscape in this mid-century topographic study of the Arizona-Utah border region. The dramatic escarpment separates the high plateaus from the lower desert drainages, creating a complex network of canyons and seasonal washes. Water sources, vital for survival in this arid environment, are clearly marked and include isolated points like Sand Spring, Peach Spring, and a simple Seep. The drainage patterns are defined by the Fort Pearce Wash and Main Run, which cut through the terrain toward the northwest. This 1954 mapping effort captures the area before modern infrastructure arrived, showing only unimproved roads and cattle tanks scattered across the border between Washington and Mohave County. The deep incisions of Rock Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon illustrate the geological forces that shaped this remote corner of the American Southwest.
