1954 Map of White Canyon 2 SE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

White Canyon and Farley Canyon dominate this high-desert topography in the early 1950s, showing a landscape defined by deep drainage systems and remote resource extraction. The area serves as a borderland between Garfield and San Juan counties, where isolated infrastructure like the scattered Landing Field sites and a single labeled mine indicate the presence of prospecting and aviation support in an otherwise unpopulated region. The cartography reveals a reliance on essential water sources in an arid environment, specifically Horse Tanks, a reservoir, and a pond. Other distinctive terrain features include the sheer walls of Notch Canyon and the notable flats of Forty Acres, reflecting the extreme verticality of the Colorado Plateau before significant modern development reached these canyons.
