About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation spans this high-desert landscape in northern Arizona, defined by a series of north-south running topographic features. The Mormon Ridges dominate the central portion of the map, while the western edge is marked by the distinct rise of Little Black Mesa. Settlement is sparse in this 1980s-era survey, with most human activity indicated only by a solitary Corral and a network of 4wd tracks that thread between the ridges. The terrain transitions into the Low Valley in the northeast, illustrating the remote and arid character of the Coconino County backcountry during this period. This map provides a clear record of the area's physical geography before modern development or land-use changes altered the quiet stretches of the reservation.
