1954 Map of White Canyon 1 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Colorado River carves through the northern edge of this 1952 topographic survey, marking the boundary between Garfield and San Juan counties. This preliminary edition, derived from 1951 aerial photography, focuses on the labyrinthine drainage systems that feed into the river corridor. Dominating the landscape are high, finger-like mesas such as Bent Point, North Point, and Middle Point, which overlook the deep incisions of Dark Canyon. The intricate contour lines reveal the sheer verticality of the Plateau region and the isolated reaches of Lean-To Canyon and Youngs Canyon. This map serves as a primary record of the canyonlands before modern infrastructure reached this part of the Colorado River basin, capturing a wilderness defined by topographic extremes like Black Point.
