1951 Map of Lees Ferry NE

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Colorado River snakes through the deep vertical relief of Glen Canyon in this 1954 mapping of the Arizona borderlands. This preliminary survey captures a landscape of extreme topographic complexity, defined by the intricate erosional features of Thousand Pockets and Willow Pockets. The eastern bank of the river marks the boundary of the Navajo Indian Reservation, where the terrain transitions from the river's edge toward high canyon walls. Human presence is sparse, indicated only by a solitary Jeep Trail winding through the northern sections, suggesting the primitive access common to this area before modern infrastructure arrived. The confluence with the Paria River provides a rare point of lower elevation in a region otherwise dominated by sheer cliffs and high plateaus.
