About this map

Dilkon sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned between Dilkon Hill and the wide drainage of Coyote Wash. Mapped in the mid-1960s, the area is defined by the intersection of the Navajo Indian Reservation and the Hopi Indian Reservation, including a large portion of the Navajo-Hopi Joint Use Area. This territory is marked by prominent landforms such as Turquoise Butte and Lone Cottonwood Butte, which served as critical landmarks for inhabitants and travelers alike.

Water management is central to the settlement pattern here, evidenced by numerous named sources like Tees Toh Spring, Mountainside Spring, and Ta Na Jinnie Spring. A Landing Strip and a series of pipelines reflect mid-century infrastructure developments in this high-desert region. Beyond the primary hub of Dilkon, the presence of Cedar Springs and remote jeep trails illustrates the enduring connection between natural springs and the local ranching and residential life.
