1986 Map of East of Old Leupp

About this map

The Little Colorado River winds through the southern reaches of the Navajo Indian Reservation on this 1980s-era survey, a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and industrial infrastructure. Broad washes, including Pollacca Wash and Jadito Wash, cut across the terrain to meet Corn Creek in the northwest. The presence of a Pumping Sta and multiple pipelines crossing the central plateau indicates the region's importance for resource transport. Near these utility lines, a remote Landing Strip and a solitary Corral mark the sparse human footprint in this high desert environment, where Coconino and Navajo counties meet. The map captures a moment when traditional land use and modern energy corridors overlapped in the high plateau country.
