1954 Map of White Canyon 3 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Mancos Mesa dominates this 1950s preliminary survey, a high plateau defined by its complex drainage systems in San Juan County. The topography reveals a landscape carved by deep erosional features, most notably the wide corridor of White Canyon which cuts through the central portion of the sheet. Smaller tributaries and side canyons, including Red Canyon and Knowles Canyon, illustrate the intense geological dissection of the region. The map reflects a period of early aerial photogrammetric mapping by the Department of the Interior, focusing on the uninhabited but geologically significant terrain of southeastern Utah before more formalized infrastructure was established. Researchers will find a pristine representation of the Gulch and surrounding natural landmarks as they were recorded during the 1952 field mapping.
