1954 Map of Clay Hills 3 NE

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation landscape is meticulously detailed in this preliminary survey, which was mapped in the mid-1950s using aerial photography. The geography is defined by the winding course of Oljeto Wash, which carves a deep, intricate drainage pattern through the high desert terrain of San Juan County. This specific quadrant highlights the essential role of water management in an arid environment, featuring the Rock Dam Reservoir in the southern reaches and a solitary Spring tucked into the topography. The map illustrates a period of transition for the region, produced as a precursor to more comprehensive 15-minute series mapping, and focuses primarily on the natural landforms and hydrology of this remote corner of the Navajo Indian Reservation.
