1953 Map of Redrock Valley NW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation landscape is defined here by complex geological formations and intermittent watercourses. Cove Mesa dominates the southwestern portion of the map, showing the intricate contouring of the high plateau country in Apache County. This 1953 survey captures the drainage patterns of the high desert before extensive modern development, tracing the paths of Blackhorse Creek and Pyne Wash as they cut through the arid terrain. The map is a preliminary edition, compiled from 1950 aerial photography to provide topographic detail of this remote part of Arizona while larger-scale regional mapping was still in progress. It provides a technical record of the land surface, showing the subtle breaks in elevation and the distinct northwest-to-southeast flow of the local washes.
