1953 Map of Mt Pennell 4 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Colorado River carves a dramatic path through this high desert terrain, marking the winding border where Garfield and San Juan counties meet. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling plateau of Ticaboo Mesa, which rises above a complex network of canyons and drainage systems. This 1953 survey, based on aerial photography from 1951, captures the area's geography before significant human development or major hydrological changes downstream. Notable geological formations are clearly delineated, including the sharp bend of The Rincon and the area near Good Hope. The map's high-relief contour lines provide a precise record of the verticality and erosion patterns that define this stretch of the river corridor during the early 1950s.
