1954 Map of Short Creek NW

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Short Creek and the surrounding high desert of the Arizona Strip are documented here just before the mid-1950s. The landscape is defined by the massive escarpment of the Vermilion Cliffs, where dramatic landmarks like Cottonwood Point and Lyons Point overlook the lower basins. The settlement at Short Creek is shown with its early grid of structures and a small Cem, while to the southeast, the ranching outpost of Cane Beds sits near the mouth of Scott Canyon.
