1954 Map of Leche-E Rock

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Colorado River currents carve through the deep canyons of northern Arizona in this mid-century survey, just years before the landscape was radically altered by massive regional water projects. The map focuses on the high desert plateaus south of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, dominated by the sprawling Navajo Indian Reservation. This is a territory of massive sandstone monoliths and eroded mesas, where prominent landmarks like Leche-e Rock, Tower Butte, and Sentinel Rock rise sharply from the surrounding basins. A network of Jeep Trails provides the only access across the complex topography, connecting remote points like White Dome Tank and Alkali Tank. The detailed contouring illustrates the serpentine drainage patterns of Navajo Creek and Wahweap Creek, reflecting the traditional reliance on scattered water sources across the Rainbow Plateau.
