1956 Map of Red Butte SE

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Red Butte dominates this mid-century landscape on the south rim's high plateau, serving as a prominent landmark north of the National Forest Boundary. The 1950s terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems like Little Red Horse Wash and Blue Stem Wash, which are punctuated by numerous stock tanks and water catchments essential for ranching and forest management. These features, including Yeager-Bly Tank, Wallace Tank, and Government Tank, reflect the high-altitude desert's reliance on managed water sources. The map captures the early footprint of the Grand Canyon Airport on the Kaibab Plateau, providing a look at the region's aviation and transportation infrastructure before the massive surge in modern tourism. To the south, the Coconino National Forest begins, while the eastern edge is marked by the small-scale infrastructure of Corbett Dam.
