1953 Map of Dinne Mesa NE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Red Mesa Trading Post serves as a lone point of commercial activity at the northern edge of the Navajo Indian Reservation in this mid-century preliminary survey. Situated near the Utah Arizona border where San Juan and Apache Counties meet, the landscape is defined by the high tablelands of Red Mesa and Dry Mesa. Evidence of early 1950s resource exploration and logistical infrastructure is visible through markings for a Shaft, several Tunnels, and an Emergency Landing Strip located on the open flats. Water management for livestock or local use is documented by the presence of a Windmill, an Earth Tank, and seasonal drainages like Sweetwater Wash and Tistah Wash, illustrating how the terrain was navigated before modern development.
