1883 Map of Marsh Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1883

About this map

Marsh Pass serves as the central focal point of this 1883 survey, which documents a complex landscape of mesas and deep canyons within the Navajo and Apache lands. The topography is defined by massive formations such as Skeleton Mesa and the expansive Zilh-Le-Jini Mesa. This era of mapping, led by Henry Gannett and A.H. Thompson, reveals a territory where survival and navigation relied heavily on intermittent water sources. Numerous named springs like Slan-to Spring and Chil-Chi-vi-to Spring are recorded alongside striking landmarks such as the Aga-thla Needle and Cha-ez-kla Rock. To the southwest, the Moencopie Wash cuts across the Kaibito Plateau, illustrating the erosive forces that shaped this high-altitude desert long before modern infrastructure reached the region.
