1982 Map of Bad Bug Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Navajo Indian Reservation lands within the Chuska Mountains define this 1982 survey, which documents a landscape of dramatic sandstone formations and high-altitude mesas. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Bihilinie Canyon and Tsedatoh Canyon, which feed into the primary arterial watercourses of Lukachukai Wash and Toonidazdi Wash. Small settlements like Rough Rock and Lukachukai are shown in relation to their surrounding landmarks, including the namesake Bad Bug Butte and the curiously named The Legs. The map illustrates the practical infrastructure of the high desert in the early 1980s, noting the Landing Strip (Dirt) and several improved roads connecting these remote communities. For the researcher, the map preserves specific local nomenclature for high points and mesas such as Sitting Coyote Mesa, Bijaadibae, and The Pillow.
