1955 Map of Sonsala Butte 1 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Roof Butte serves as a prominent high point in this mid-century survey of the Tunitcha Mountains, situated within the high-elevation landscape of the Navajo Indian Reservation. This map captures the rugged borderlands where Arizona and New Mexico meet, specifically looking at the intersection of Apache and San Juan Counties. The geography is defined by significant vertical relief, with seasonal drainages such as Red Wash and Pena Blanka Creek carving through the high plateau. High-altitude hydrology is marked by several clusters of Ponds and isolated Spring locations. To the east, the steep slopes of Beautiful Mountain dominate the horizon. A lone Lookout positioned atop the butte suggests the area's importance for early fire detection or observation across this expansive terrain before the completion of more modern regional mapping projects.
