1954 Map of Lees Ferry

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The confluence of the Colorado River and the Paria River serves as the geographic heart of this 1954 survey, a location historically vital as the only crossing point for hundreds of miles. The presence of Lees Ferry and its associated Ferry trail underscores its role as a critical link between Utah and Arizona settlements. To the south and west, the dramatic rise of the Vermilion Cliffs and the Paria Plateau dominates the landscape, while landmarks like Powell Monument and Cathedral Rock provide distinct navigational points. On the eastern bank, the Navajo Indian Reservation meets the river's edge near Echo Peaks. This mapping, produced in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, captures the infrastructure of the mid-century canyon country, including the Landing Strip near Marble Canyon and the Gaging Sta monitoring the river's flow.
