1968 Map of Chilchinbito Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Navajo Hopi Joint Use Area dominates this late 1960s landscape, illustrating the complex jurisdictional boundaries within the Navajo Indian Reservation across the Navajo and Apache County line. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of seasonal watercourses, most notably the winding Chilchinbito Canyon and its various tributaries like Tree Wash and Pine Wash. This survey documents a transition in local transportation, showing a high concentration of primitive routes including a Pack Trail and several Jeep Trails that provided access to remote water sources such as Aspen Spring and Spring. Significant landmarks like Red Point and the humorously named Pain in the Back serve as navigational anchors for this high-desert plateau region.
