About this map

The Ute Mountain Indian Reservation defines this high-desert landscape in the late 1960s, where traditional land use and ancient history intersect with mid-century resource extraction. The map documents numerous Indian Ruins and a specific Cliff Dwelling tucked into the sandstone formations of Cowboy Mesa. These archaeological sites are interspersed with modern infrastructure, including several Oil Wells and the Chimney Rock Well, indicating the arrival of petroleum exploration in the canyon country.
