1966 Map of Burnham Trading Post

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Burnham Trading Post and the remote settlement of Tee-ni-di-tso anchor this mid-1960s study of the high desert landscape within the Navajo Indian Reservation. The terrain is defined by complex drainage systems, most notably Brimhall Wash and Hunter Wash, which carve through the arid geography. Bureau of Indian Affairs surveys delineate the land lines, reflecting the administrative history of the region during this era of resource mapping. Evidence of mid-century infrastructure is visible in the isolated Landing Strip and various water sources such as the Drift Hole and scattered wells. A solitary mine near the northern boundary suggests localized geological prospecting, while the vast network of unimproved dirt roads connects these distant outposts across the San Juan County plateau.
