1956 Map of Marble Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Tuba City and the neighboring community of Moenkopi serve as central hubs in this mid-century portrait of Northern Arizona. This period was defined by the massive engineering project at the Glen Canyon Dam Site and the emergence of the nuclear age, evidenced by the Uranium mill located near the southern edge of the Kaibito Plateau. The landscape is dominated by the massive tectonic uplift of the Echo Cliffs and the deep carving of the Colorado River through Marble Canyon. Cultural history is prominently noted through the preservation of ancestral sites like Keet Seel Ruin and Betatakin Ruin within the Navajo National Monument, while contemporary commerce is represented by outposts like the Cow Springs Trading Post. The map reveals a high-desert territory where ancient geography and modern infrastructure, including Navajo Bridge, meet.
