1952 Map of Agathla Peak 1 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Agathla Peak (El Capitan) dominates this high-altitude landscape of the Navajo Indian Reservation as it appeared in the early 1950s. This survey records the distinct volcanic geology of northeastern Arizona, most notably the towering spire of El Capitan and the nearby Chaistla Butte. The topography is defined by the sharp, linear formations of the Porras Dikes, which cut across the southern portion of the sheet toward the broad floor of Cane Valley. While the region is largely defined by its natural landforms, early water management efforts are evident in the presence of a Dam and several Dams situated along drainage washes. The map provides a precise look at the unimproved roads and physical landmarks that served as the primary navigation points for the residents and travelers of the Navajo Nation during this era.
