1953 Map of Dinne Mesa SE

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Navajo Indian Reservation lands within Apache County are defined by deep canyon systems and prominent mesas in this mid-century topographic study. The landscape is dominated by the drainage patterns of Toh-chin-Lini Canyon and Seklagaidesa Canyon, which carve through the high elevations of Toh-chin-Lini Mesa and Dry Mesa. At the northeastern edge, Black Rock Point (Tsitah) provides a sharp landmark overlooking the basin. Human presence in this arid environment is indicated by isolated water management features like a Windmill and a Dam, supporting life near ephemeral watercourses such as Sili Wash and Tsitah Wash. The map reflects a period of transition, published as a preliminary edition during the early 1950s as broader regional surveys were being finalized.
