1952 Map of Mancos Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Colorado River carves a deep path through the western edge of this terrain, serving as the boundary between Garfield and San Juan counties in the early 1950s. The landscape is defined by the massive plateau of Mancos Mesa and a network of intricate drainages including Red Canyon and Moqui Canyon. Navigational markers along the river corridor include Ticaboo No 1 Rapids and Ticaboo No 2 Rapids, while the presence of a lone Landing Strip near the river suggests the isolation of the area during this era of exploration. Geologic features like The Rincon, Castle Butte, and the Chocolate Drop provide distinctive landmarks across this sparsely developed region of southern Utah. The map also captures several Tunnels and a Tunnel site, indicating early infrastructure for mineral or water access.
