About this map

Tohnali Mesa and the Moenkopi Plateau define the high-desert topography of this region within the Navajo Indian Reservation. Published in the late 1960s, the map documents a sparse landscape where water sources and transit routes dictate human movement. The settlement at Goldtooth sits at the base of the plateau, connected to the wider territory by a network of Jeep Trails and a Pack Trail that traverse the Adeii Eechii Cliffs.

Critical landmarks like Seller Spring and Water Under The Rock Pond provide essential context for understanding the pastoral and traditional land use of the era. To the west, Sand Dunes shift against Ward Terrace, while the northern section features distinctive landforms such as Wolf Point and the curiously named Little Hollow Place. The presence of a modern Pipeline cutting across the northwest corner indicates the infrastructure developments reaching this corner of Coconino County during the mid-century.
