1985 Map of Yellow Rock Point East

About this map

The Four Corners Monument marks the convergence of four state boundaries at the southern edge of this 1985 survey, where Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico meet. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the San Juan River, which carves through the Navajo Indian Reservation as it flows westward. Resource extraction and land use are evident through numerous scattered Oil Wells and Drill Holes that dot the high desert plateau, alongside a Gravel Pit near the eastern boundary. Drainages like Cowboy Wash and Toh Dahstini Wash snake toward the river from the slopes of Ute Mountain. This map documents a sparsely populated but active industrial and transit corridor at the intersection of the American Southwest during the mid-1980s.
