1968 Map of Sieber Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Deep incisions of the Little Dolores River carve through this high desert plateau, revealing a complex network of drainage systems typical of the Colorado landscape. In the late 1960s, the terrain was defined by significant formations like Long Mesa and the converging paths of Knowles Canyon and Sieber Canyon. The map records a landscape predominantly used for transit and resource extraction, evidenced by the presence of a Quarry and a network of Jeep Trails that navigate the ridges between Jones Canyon and Toms Canyon. This topography highlights the hydrological patterns of the western slope, particularly near Twentyeight Hole Wash and Mee Canyon, where the surface is shaped by seasonal runoff patterns. The proximity to the state line suggests a remote area where traditional ranching and surveying access routes remained the primary marks of human activity.
