1954 Map of Shinumo Altar NE

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Cedar Ridge Trading Post serves as a lone commercial outpost along Highway 89 in this mid-century survey of the Navajo Indian Reservation. The landscape is dominated by the dramatic verticality of the Echo Cliffs, which create a sharp topographic boundary overlooking Cornfield Valley. This arid environment is carefully indexed by its water sources, showing a reliance on catchment features like McClellan Tanks, Eagle Nest Reservoir, and the First Reservoir to sustain the remote high-desert economy. Beyond the primary road, the terrain is traversed by a network of Jeep Trails and washes, including Tanners Wash, which cut through the Cedar Ridge plateau. The map's contour work reveals the transition from the relatively flat valley floor to the prominent elevation of Red Hill, providing a detailed study of the region's geological structure before modern development altered the remote character of Coconino County.
