1952 Map of Navajo Mountain 4 NE
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The San Juan River snakes through the northern reaches of this 1952 survey, carving a deep path through the Navajo Indian Reservation. This map, based on 1951 aerial photography, documents a remote section of San Juan County where traditional structures and historical sites are the primary markers on the landscape. Along the southern bluffs and washes, the placement of a Hogan and several Hogans indicates seasonal or permanent residential patterns of the era. The presence of the Zahn Mine (Aband) near the riverbank points to early mineral exploration in the canyonlands, while Spring Ruin to the south marks an archaeological footprint long predating modern surveys. The complex topography is further defined by the winding course of Copper Canyon and Neskahi Wash, illustrating the drainage systems that dictate travel and habitation in this part of Utah.
