1965 Map of Pleasant View

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Pleasant View and Cahone serve as the primary anchors for this mid-1960s landscape in Montezuma County. The topography is dominated by a complex system of drainage, where the relatively flat agricultural plains of the northeast are abruptly cut by deep, branching canyons. Significant geological features include the winding reaches of Hovenweep Canyon and Sandstone Canyon, which illustrate the erosion patterns characteristic of the Colorado Plateau. The survey also documents smaller seasonal watercourses such as Little Cahone Canyon, Ruin Canyon, and Negro Canyon. Outside of the small settlements, human infrastructure is sparse, noted primarily by a single Radio Tower and the grid of section lines that define the local ranching and farming boundaries. This map captures the area just as modern photogrammetric mapping was being refined, providing a clear record of the intersection between high-desert terrain and rural development.
