1953 Map of Redrock Valley SE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation landscape is meticulously documented in this 1950s preliminary survey, centering on the essential outposts of the high desert. The Red Rock Trading Post and Red Rock School serve as the primary human centers in an area defined by its dramatic geological formations and seasonal waterways. The drainage patterns of Red Rock Wash and Little Red Rock Wash reveal the vital role of water management for the local community, as evidenced by features like the Concrete Tank. Significant landforms, including the prominent peak of White Rock and the distinctive outcropping known as The Thumb, anchor the terrain. This map captures the region at a moment when boundary monuments like 27 Mi Mon and 31 Mi Mon still marked the transition between Apache and San Juan counties during the early postwar era.
