1934 Map of Ship Rock

About this map

Ship Rock stands as a massive volcanic landmark in this mid-1930s survey of the high desert within the Navajo Indian Reservation. The mapping, conducted by Max J. Gleissner and his team, captures a landscape defined by dramatic geological formations and seasonal waterways. From the towering heights of Beautiful Mountain in the southwest to the distinct profiles of Mitten Rock and the Thumb, the terrain is etched by an intricate network of drainages including Shiprock Wash, Salt Creek, and the curiously named Dead Mans Wash.
