1970 Map of Becenti Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Kim-me-ni-oli Wash and Seven Lakes Wash converge in this high-desert region of McKinley County, defining a landscape shaped by seasonal drainage patterns. Surveyed in 1969 and 1970, the map illustrates the remote character of this arid terrain, punctuated by isolated water sources such as Becenti Lake and scattered Well sites. The presence of Ruins indicates long-standing human interaction with the environment, while modern resource exploration is evidenced by a Drill Hole and several benchmark elevations like BM 6488. The transition between T. 19 N. and T. 18 N. provides a cadastral framework for this segment of the Navajo Nation, where the rugged topography is documented through precise 20-foot contour intervals. This survey preserves a moment of rural New Mexico before extensive modernization, capturing the essential relationship between water access and settlement.
