1972 Map of Dipping Water Well

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Padres Mesa dominates the southern portion of this high desert landscape, providing a dramatic backdrop for the scattered watering points essential to life on the Navajo Indian Reservation. This 1970s survey illustrates a remote corner of Apache County where survival and settlement are closely tied to the drainage of Wide Ruin Wash and Dead Indian Wash. Sparse human presence is marked primarily by isolated landmarks such as John Joe Well and Dipping Water Well, reflecting the long-standing importance of reliable water sources in this arid territory. The map details the local infrastructure of the era, from unimproved roads to the occasional Water Tank, set against a terrain of plateaus and ephemeral washes.
