About this map

Comb Ridge dominates this 1988 landscape, a massive geological uplift that cuts a dramatic path across the high desert of the Navajo Indian Reservation. This provisional survey provides a detailed look at the borderlands where Apache County, Arizona, meets San Juan County, Utah. The terrain is characterized by complex erosion patterns, notably within Cane Valley and along the sharp spine of Garnet Ridge. Water is a scarce but defining presence, found at a single mapped Spring and the Dennehotso Laguna in the southeast corner. Sparse human footprints in this remote area are limited to unimproved roads, a Drill Hole, and a utility corridor following the southern reach of Creek. The map is an essential record of the natural topography and traditional land boundaries of the Navajo Nation during the late twentieth century.
