1970 Map of McCauley Sinks

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Chevelon Canyon dominates this 1970s landscape of the Colorado Plateau, its deep, winding course serving as the primary drainage for numerous tributary ravines. The land use here is characterized by isolated water improvements essential for ranching and surveying in a semi-arid environment, including Well No 3, Well No 4, and the Dry Pasture Well. The canyon system branches into distinctive landmarks such as Bell Cow Canyon and Big Bull Canyon, reflecting the area's cattle-ranching history. This survey illustrates the intricate relationship between topography and water access, with features like Babbitt Tank and Rock Tank Dam positioned to capture seasonal runoff. Numerous jeep trails and fence lines cross the high ground between Horse Canyon and Black Canyon, showing how the rugged terrain was navigated and managed by local landowners during the late twentieth century.
