USGS Topo · Published 1969About this map
The Aneth Oil Field defines the industrial footprint along the San Juan River on this 1960s survey, revealing a landscape of pipelines, pumping stations, and oil wells that transformed the desert floor. This development sits in stark contrast to the ancient history recorded on the same sheet, including a Cliff Dwelling and the Seventeen Room Ruin near the riverbanks. The settlement of Fiddlers Green and the Montezuma Creek Sch anchor the local community within the Navajo Indian Reservation.
