1953 Map of Redrock Valley SW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The high-altitude topography of the Navajo Indian Reservation dominates this 1950s survey, defined by the towering Lukachukai Mountains and the Chuska Mts. The landscape is a study in verticality, transitioning from the deep drainage of Cove Wash to the steep ridgelines where a Natural Arch stands as a distinct geological marker. Settlement is concentrated near the base of these peaks, centered on the Cove School. A notable logistical feature of the era is the Emergency Landing Strip, situated on a relatively level bench of land amidst the otherwise complex terrain. This map captures the region's infrastructure before modern expansion, showing the network of unimproved roads and isolated structures that serviced this part of Apache County during the early Cold War period.
