1953 Map of Los Gigantes SE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Navajo Indian Reservation lands dominate this mid-century topographic study, which captures the complex high-desert landforms of Apache County. The map is defined by the stark verticality of the Mexican Cry area, where dense contour lines illustrate a labyrinth of deep canyons and sheer plateaus. Elevated features such as West Mesa and East Mesa (also labeled E Mesa) rise above the surrounding terrain, serving as primary landmarks in this sparsely populated region. This preliminary edition, compiled from 1950 aerial photography, provides a specialized view of the landscape's natural geometry before later survey refinements, emphasizing the physical isolation and topographic complexity of the Arizona desert.
