1956 Map of Marble Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Lake Powell and the Colorado River dominate this mid-century landscape during a period of massive engineering and geographic change. The newly constructed Glen Canyon Dam stands near the burgeoning community of Page, marking the transition of the canyon into a major reservoir within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Further south and east, the map details the expansive lands of the Navajo Indian Reservation and the Navajo-Hopi Indian Reservation, where traditional settlements like Tuba City, Moenkopi, and Shonto are centers of community life amidst the rising forms of Black Mesa and Skeleton Mesa.
