1952 Map of Dinnehotso

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Dinnehotso Trading Post serves as the focal point for human activity in this corner of the Navajo Indian Reservation during the early 1950s. Located along Laguna Creek, the settlement is supported by an infrastructure of a levee, dam, and a complex irrigation ditch system. The map documents the industrial presence of the Monument No 2 Mine situated near the towering Yazzie Mesa, indicating the era's mineral exploration in the high desert. To the north and west, the landscape is defined by massive geologic features, including the sweeping Comb Ridge and Garnet Ridge, as well as distinct landmarks like Rooster Rock and Meridian Butte. This survey highlights the intersection of traditional land use and mid-century resource extraction, set against a backdrop of sand dunes and vast reaches like Greasewood Flat.
