1967 Map of Dilkon

About this map

Dilkon sits at the base of Dilkon Hill in this high-desert landscape, serving as a focal point for infrastructure within the Hopi Indian Reservation. The terrain is defined by dramatic mesas and isolated buttes that rise above the drainage networks of Tees Toh Wash and Coyote Wash. The map documents essential water sources for the region, including Tees Toh Spring, Mountainside Spring, and Lone Cottonwood Spring, as well as several Pumping Stations and a Pipeline. Human presence in the mid-1960s is further marked by a Landing Strip and a Radio Tower, reflecting the logistical needs of this tribal land. The geological complexity of the area is evident in landmarks like Turquoise Butte and the prominent Eagle Nest Point, which overlook the expansive Hauke Mesa.
