1972 Map of Ganado Mesa SW

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The high desert landscape of the Navajo Indian Reservation in Apache County is defined by its intermittent watercourses and expansive plateaus. This 1970s survey captures a transition in the land, marking the Old Indian Reservation Boundary as it cuts across the northern reaches of the quadrangle. Drainage patterns are dominated by the winding paths of Pine Springs Wash and Bi Keesh Wash, which carve through the arid terrain toward the southeast. The survey provides critical elevation data for the era, centered on the Ganado SE Base BM 6384 survey marker. Infrastructure is sparse, limited primarily to a single Water Tank and the open expanse of Snake Flat in the southeastern corner, reflecting the land's role for grazing and traditional use within the reservation during this period.
