1970 Map of Cattle Canyon

About this map

Navajo Indian Reservation lands dominate this 1970 survey, capturing a high desert landscape defined by deep drainages and elevated plateaus along the Arizona and Utah border. The topography is shaped by the massive Piute Mesa to the west and Noka Mesa to the northeast, with the high ground of the Shonto Plateau rising in the south. Between these heights, Cattle Canyon and Nokai Canyon carve significant paths through the terrain. The presence of Fullers Spring and the drainage of Neskahi Wash indicate the critical water sources in this arid region. The boundary line between San Juan and Navajo counties is clearly marked as it meets the state line, providing a precise record of these political borders within the reservation.
