USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
The San Juan River defines the southern portion of this high desert landscape, where the Aneth Oil Field signifies the mid-century industrial presence of petroleum and natural gas. Traces of ancient habitation are marked by the Seventeen Room Ruin and a Cliff Dwelling, situated among the complex terrain of McCracken Mesa and Bucket Ridge. The map documents the overlap of the Ute Indian Reservation and Navajo Indian Reservation, illustrating a transition from traditional land use to industrial development.
