1990 Map of Echo Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

First Mesa dominates this 1990 topographical study, where the high desert terrain of the Hopi Indian Reservation meets the Navajo Indian Reservation. The map details a complex network of seasonal drainage and water management, highlighting numerous check dams constructed to control runoff throughout the arid landscape. Polacca Wash and Burnt Corn Wash carve through the mesa country, while Echo Canyon and Cienega Canyon define the southern reaches of the quadrangle. Significant water sources for the era are carefully noted, including Echo Spring, a water tank, and a flowing well. From the prominent overlook at Gum Point to the winding course of Tse Chizzi Wash, the map provides an essential record of the physical geography and land-use boundaries in this portion of the American Southwest during the late twentieth century.
