1954 Map of Kanab SW

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Yellowjacket Spring and Harris Springs provide rare water sources across this high-desert landscape, where the topography transitions from deep canyon drainages to rolling dunes. Mapped in the mid-1950s along the Utah-Arizona border, this preliminary survey captures the rugged intersection of Kane County and Mohave County. The land is defined by sharp elevation shifts, particularly within Yellowjacket Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon, while the southwestern corner is dominated by shifting Sand Dunes and the seasonal path of Sandy Wash. This era of mapping utilized aerial photography to document the complex drainage systems of Indian Canyon and its South Fork, illustrating the remote character of the borderlands before modern infrastructure significantly altered local access.
