1954 Map of Paria Plateau NW

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Poverty Flat and the surrounding Sand Hills dominate this mid-century topographic survey of the Paria Plateau region. The landscape is defined by its arid depressions and unique geological formations, including the distinct White Pocket and Red Pocket. This preliminary edition, based on aerial photographs from 1951, provides a detailed look at the backcountry before modern development, where transit was limited to a rudimentary Jeep Trail winding through the basin. Large-scale geologic features like Wolf Knoll and Big Sink serve as primary landmarks for navigation. The presence of Franks and a solitary Pond indicate the sparse distribution of water sources and named sites in this corner of Coconino County, reflecting the isolation and untouched character of the plateau during the 1950s.
