1954 Map of White Canyon 1 SE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Dark Canyon dominates this 1952 topographic study of the canyonlands in San Juan County, showing a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and erosion. The intricate drainage network is anchored by Woodens Shoe Canyon and Lost Canyon, which cut through the high plateaus of Black Point. The map captures the area just before the major push for uranium exploration in the region, documenting a period when human impact was limited to small water catchments like the Reservoir and the seasonal cattle range across Upper Horse Flats and Lower Horse Flats. Other significant drainages like Gravel Canyon and Black Seep Canyon reveal the complex topography of this high-desert environment before modern access roads were established.
