1954 Map of Mt Peale 4 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Son Spring serves as a critical water source in this arid San Juan County landscape, where the topography is defined by the deep incision of East Pine Hollow and the surrounding plateau. Mapped in the mid-1950s using aerial photography, the area shows evidence of early-decade resource exploration with a marked Mine and Tunnel situated near the head of the canyon systems. This preliminary survey captures the territory before modern development, emphasizing a ranching and prospecting economy supported by various Stock Ponds and a Reservoir. The intricate drainage patterns of Dry Wash and the complex descent into Iron Canyon illustrate the isolation of the Point and Step formations, providing a record of the terrain as it was navigated by post-war surveyors and local land users.
