1955 Map of Ganado 1 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Petrified Forest National Monument and the Navajo Indian Reservation converge in this high-desert landscape of the mid-1950s. The terrain is defined by the gradual ascent toward the Defiance Plateau to the northeast, deeply etched by the seasonal drainage of Bis-ii-ah Wash and Nazlini Wash. The map reflects a remote ranching and grazing environment where water management is paramount, indicated by the distribution of several tanks and a windmill strategically placed across the arid flats. Survey markers like Snake and Vabm 5995 provide precise topographical fixed points amidst the complex system of nameless canyons and washes, including the eastern Tah-aith-cheed Wash. This preliminary survey captures the intersection of protected federal lands and tribal territory before more extensive road networks or modern developments altered the region.
