1954 Map of Lees Ferry NW

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Paria River carves a deep path through the Coconino County landscape, where the dramatic elevation changes of the Vermilion Cliffs dominate the eastern half of this 1954 survey. This preliminary edition shows a transition between high-desert plateaus and steep canyon walls, particularly where the Paria Plateau gives way to the river valley below. Settlement is non-existent on this sheet, which instead records the natural topography and remote navigation routes of the era, such as a solitary Jeep Trail winding across the flats of Horse Ridge. Local landmarks are primarily geographic, including the high point of Cedar Mtn to the north and the distinct Bush Head overlook. Notable water sources in this arid environment are captured at the Water Pockets, providing a rare glimpse into the vital hydrology that dictated movement through this part of the Arizona wilderness before modern development.
