1954 Map of White Canyon 3 SE
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
The dramatic geography of San Juan County dominates this 1950s preliminary survey, characterized by the expansive Mancos Mesa and the winding course of White Canyon. This era of mapping captured the remote high desert of southeastern Utah just as aerial photography and multiplex methods were being refined to document its labyrinthine drainages and plateaus. Notable landmarks such as Chocolate Drop and the deep incisions of Mormon Canyon provide orientation in a landscape defined more by geology than settlement.
