1982 Map of Boiling Over Well

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Navajo Indian Reservation lands dominate this high-desert landscape in the early 1980s, where the northern heights of the Carrizo Mountains overlook a complex network of drainage washes. The map records the isolation and industrial footprint of the era, notably the Toh Thlany Begay Mine situated in the rugged northern terrain. Resource extraction and water management are the primary themes here, evidenced by the eponymous Boiling Over Well (Dry) and scattered water sources like Hidden Spring. The transition from the peaks down into Valley Redrock is marked by seasonal watercourses such as Boiling Over Wash and Blackhorse Creek. A singular Lone Grave and the landmark Black Rock provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians, reflecting the sparse but significant human presence in this part of Apache County.
