1955 Map of Sonsala Butte 4 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Upper Wheatfields serves as a focal point of settlement in this mid-century topographic survey, positioned near the waters of Wheatfields Creek. This portion of the Navajo Indian Reservation spans the high-elevation borderlands of Arizona and New Mexico, where the massive landforms of the Chuska Mountains dominate the eastern horizon. The landscape is defined by its water management and dramatic vertical relief, including a Dam at Wheatfields Lake and a Gaging Station downstream along Whiskey Creek. Geologic features such as the Beshlaht hdas Cliffs and the volcanic prominence of White Cone provide clear landmarks for the region. The map also records natural water sources like Bubbling Spring and the high-plateau Little White Cone Lake, reflecting the essential relationship between the seasonal drainage patterns and the local environment in the mid-1950s.
