1965 Map of Yellow Jacket

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Yellow Jacket and the surrounding high mesa country are defined by a network of deep drainages carved into the landscape, including Yellowjacket Canyon and Sandstone Canyon. This mid-1960s survey captures the area’s agricultural and resource-based layout, with a large-scale Pipeline and irrigation features like the Lateral canal supporting the rural community. The map provides significant detail for genealogical research, locating the Emmanuel Ch and its neighboring Fairview Cem, alongside the Sunnyside Cem located near Lewis. To the northeast, the terrain drops sharply toward the Dolores River and Salter Can, where the boundary of the San Juan National Forest meets prominent landmarks such as Lone Dome. The mix of canyon topography and upland settlements reflects the historic ranching and dryland farming character of Montezuma County during this era.
