1886 Map of Fort Defiance
USGS Topo · Published 1886About this map
Fort Defiance stands as the primary hub in this early territorial survey, positioned where the high plateaus of Apache County meet the borders of New Mexico. The landscape is defined by its critical water sources, such as Jacobs Well, Tanners Spring, and Navajo Springs, which supported travelers and livestock in an otherwise arid environment. Along the southern edge, the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad cuts across the terrain, establishing a vital transportation corridor through small stops like Allantown, Navajo, and Billings.
