About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation covers the vast majority of this arid landscape, characterized by the intricate drainage systems of Hunter Wash. The area is sparsely developed, with the Bisti Trading Post serving as a primary point of human activity and commerce in the southeastern corner. An industrial footprint is present in the form of a long Pipeline that traverses the reservation, reflecting the energy development common in the San Juan Basin during the mid-1960s. The topography is marked by a network of dry washes and small Mines and Mines in the southern reaches, suggesting localized mineral exploration or extraction activities during this period. The survey provides a clear view of the road network and land divisions established by the Bureau of Indian Affairs Survey.
