About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation spans the boundary between Arizona and New Mexico in this early 1980s provisional survey, centering on the circular volcanic depression of Buell Park. This unique geological feature is flanked by prominent landmarks like Buell Mtn and Sterrett Mesa. The settlement of Navajo sits near the base of the Chuska Mountains, serving as a focal point for the region's infrastructure alongside the Red Lake Chapter House.

Water management is critical to the landscape, evidenced by Red Lake and a network of drainages including Black Creek and Tohdildonih Wash. The terrain transitions from the high peaks of Zilditloi Mtn and Peridot Ridge down to the Red Valley. Small-scale resource extraction is noted at a Borrow Pit near the mountain slopes, while Buell Spring provides a vital natural water source within the park's interior.
