1954 Map of White Canyon 3 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

White Canyon dominates this 1950s preliminary survey of the San Juan County plateau, revealing a landscape defined by deep erosional drainages and the early infrastructure of the uranium boom. The primitive route of Highway 95 threads through the canyon system, providing a vital connection to Ducker Crossing. Geologists and mining historians can find evidence of early mineral exploration at a specific mine site located on the cliffs above the main wash. The map also records the precise elevation control points of the era, such as Vabm 6411 and Vabm 5930, while detailing the complex branching of Short Canyon and Blue Canyon before this remote territory was fully integrated into the 15-minute topographic series.
