1966 Map of Burnham Trading Post

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Navajo Indian Reservation lands in the mid-1960s were defined by a sparse network of trading outposts and seasonal watercourses. The Burnham Trading Post serves as a primary navigational and social landmark in this high desert landscape, supported by a nearby Landing Strip. The terrain is deeply etched by the westward-flowing Brimhall Wash and Hunter Wash, which dominate the local topography and likely dictated the movement of livestock and people. Industrial activity is minimal but present, evidenced by a solitary Mine and a Drill Hole located in the southern reaches of the quadrangle. The inclusion of Tee-ni-di-tso highlights the localized nomenclature of the area, while dotted land lines established by the Bureau of Indian Affairs Survey indicate the ongoing administrative mapping of these ancestral lands during the post-war era.
