About this map

The Dalton Pass Chapter House serves as a focal point in this high-desert landscape of the Eastern Navajo Agency during the early 21st century. The map details a rugged drainage network defined by steep-walled corridors like Running Edge Canyon, Burned Water Canyon, and the extensive Dalton Pass Canyon. Human activity is clustered around essential water sources and transit points, including Tol-Dohn Spring and the Dalton Pass Trading Post.

Transport and commerce are governed by a network of bureau-maintained roads such as Indian Service Route 52 and Navajo Service Route 9. Evidence of local industry appears at the Shillingburg Mine, located near the southern end of a prominent ridge. The topographical data highlights the significance of Dalton Pass itself as a natural corridor through the terrain, flanked by landmarks like Flat Top Hill.
