1972 Map of Beeshsikad Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Balakai Mesa dominates this high-desert landscape in the early 1970s, serving as a prominent landform within the Navajo Indian Reservation. This specific survey area highlights a critical network of water sources in an otherwise arid environment, including Beeshsikad Spring, Oak Spring, and Cow Springs. The topography is defined by the sharp relief of Owl Hat Point and the winding course of Jadito Wash, which carves through the mesa's lower elevations. A notable administrative detail captured here is the Navajo-Hopi Joint Use Area Boundary, which, along with the county line between Navajo and Apache Counties, reflects the complex jurisdictional and tribal land divisions of the era. The map provides a detailed record of unimproved roads and trails, such as the one leading to Antelope Trail Spring, illustrating the rural transportation patterns used by local residents and ranchers.
