1953 Map of Navajo Mountain 4 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation landscape is defined by the dramatic meeting of Plateau and canyon systems along the border of Utah and Arizona. This 1953 survey, produced by the Geological Survey using aerial photography, documents a complex topography of deep incisions and high rises labeled simply as Rainbow and Mesa. Straddling the boundary between San Juan County and Navajo County, the map captures the transition across the state line during a period of preliminary mapping. The absence of modern roads or named settlements reflects the isolated character of this region of the Navajo Indian Reservation, where the primary features are the geological formations themselves and the political boundaries that bisect them.
