1955 Map of Yellowstone Canyon

About this map

Canyon de Chelly National Monument and the surrounding Navajo Indian Reservation dominate this mid-century landscape, revealing a complex network of sheer-walled canyons and traditional land use. The deep incisions of Canyon de Chelly and Canyon del Muerto are meticulously mapped alongside high tablelands such as Red Cornfield Mesa and Sitting Coyote Mesa. This 1950s survey documents the intersection of ancient history and contemporary life, noting Cliff Dwelling Ruins near the canyon floor and an isolated Landing Strip near Lukachukai.
