1952 Map of Agathla Peak 2 SE

About this map

Tyende Mesa dominates the landscape of this 1950s preliminary survey, situated within the Navajo Indian Reservation in northern Arizona. The map illustrates a network of ephemeral drainage systems and intricate topography, where Oljieto Wash and Cutfoot Wash carve through the high plateau. Human presence is marked by a single windmill and an unpaved Wagon Trail that winds along the eastern slopes, tracing a route through the complex terrain below Half Dome. A series of small dams and a ditch system near Adahchijiyahi Canyon indicate localized water management efforts in this arid environment during the early post-war era. The sheet serves as a primary record of the region's land use and physical geography before more extensive modern development occurred.
