1953 Map of Los Gigantes NE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Navajo Indian Reservation lands dominate this mid-century topographic survey, revealing a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and essential water sources. The drainages of Walker Creek and Hasbidito Creek carve through the high plateau, illustrating the natural water-flow patterns critical to life in this arid region of Apache County. This preliminary edition, mapped in 1953, highlights the intersection of natural terrain and early infrastructure. A series of tunnels and a standalone tunnel near Cove indicate significant engineering efforts likely associated with resource extraction or transportation through the high sandstone walls. Surveyors documented several high points, including Vabm 7075 and Mesa, providing a precise look at the verticality of the terrain before the completion of the standard fifteen-minute series maps for the area.
