1965 Map of Woods Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Indian Ruins are scattered across this high mesa and canyon landscape in southwestern Colorado, indicating a deep ancestral presence throughout the region. The topography is defined by the significant incision of Yellowjacket Canyon and its many tributaries, including Woods Canyon and Sandstone Canyon. While much of the land remains undeveloped, the mid-1960s landscape shows early industrial activity with an Oil Well located near Risley Canyon. Water sources are sparse but notable, including Spring Creek and the small Moqui Lake. This survey captures a moment when archaeological heritage coexists with modern infrastructure, such as a Radio Tower near Goodman Point. The intricate network of drainage systems like Burro Canyon and Sand Canyon underscores the complex geography of the Four Corners area before modern expansion altered the character of the high desert.
