1953 Map of Redrock Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation spans this high-desert landscape, dominated by the Carrizo Mountains to the north and the Lukachukai Mts to the south. In the early 1950s, the community of Red Rock served as a focal point for the region, housing the Red Rock Sch and a local Trading Post. The geography is defined by massive mesas such as Cove Mesa and Horse Mesa, punctuated by distinctive vertical landmarks like The Thumb and Standing Redrock. Evidence of mid-century industrial activity appears through scattered Mines and a remote Landing Strip near the state line. This survey captures a specific era of infrastructure in the Four Corners region, where traditional trading hubs and new mining interests coexisted along the seasonal flows of Blackrock Wash and Red Wash.
