1952 Map of Agathla Peak 2 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Deeply incised canyon systems dominate this 1952 topographic study of the Navajo Indian Reservation in Arizona. The landscape is defined by the convergence of Tsegi Canyon, Keet Seel Canyon, and Dowozhiebito Canyon, where the sheer verticality of the terrain created natural strongholds for ancient inhabitants. This survey specifically highlights the presence of Ruins within the Navajo National Monument, documenting the high-altitude archaeological sites before the area saw more intensive modern visitation. The map reveals a sparse distribution of life-sustaining water sources like Todicheenie, a Pond, and a lone Spring, which dictated human movement through these labyrinthine plateaus. A single House stands as one of the few contemporary structures, while the broader geography remains defined by features like Adahchijiyahi and Long Canyon.
