1952 Map of Setsiltso Springs 2 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Navajo Indian Reservation lands in the high desert of the Arizona-Utah border region define this 1952 topographic study. The landscape is dominated by the broad expanse of Cane Valley and the shifting Sand Dunes to the southeast, while the northern reaches are carved by the drainage of Gypsum Creek and West Gypsum Creek. Human activity is marked by isolated Hogan and Hogans dwellings, indicating traditional settlement patterns of the Diné. A significant industrial feature is the Monument No 2 Mine on the eastern edge of the quadrangle, which reflects the mid-century uranium mining era in the Four Corners area. This preliminary survey, based on 1951 aerial photography, captures the intersection of traditional land use and modern resource extraction during a period of intense geologic interest in the region.
