1963 Map of Dalton Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation landscape around Dalton Pass is defined by a complex network of high-desert drainage systems, including Water Canyon, Rock Canyon, and Narrow Canyon. During this early 1960s survey, the area served as a focal point for local commerce and community life, anchored by the Dalton Pass Trading Post and the nearby Dalton Pass Chapter House. The map documents essential water sources in this arid environment, such as Tul-Dohn Spring, Shillingburg Spring, and the descriptively named Burned Water Well. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is present through the Shillingburg Mine and a high-elevation Gravel Pit near Flat Top Hill. A series of jeep trails provides the primary means of traversal through the broken terrain, connecting these remote outposts to the wider McKinley County region.
