1965 Map of Pleasant View

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Pleasant View sits at a high point in the Four Corners region, overlooking a complex drainage system that feeds into the nearby desert landscapes. This 1964 photogrammetric survey reveals a land defined by its deep incisions, where the high plateau is sliced by the sheer walls of Sandstone Canyon and Hovenweep Canyon. The settlement pattern follows the relatively level ground between these geological features, with agriculture and roads concentrated on the mesas above the canyon floors. Significant watercourses like Little Cahone Canyon and Woods Canyon create a finger-like pattern of ridges and draws across the quadrangle. In the lower reaches of the map, the terrain becomes increasingly complex as Ruin Canyon and Negro Canyon converge, illustrating the difficult geography that guided early settlement and transit routes in Montezuma County.
