About this map

The high plateau of Douglas Mesa dominates the northeastern corner of this corner of San Juan County, illustrating the dramatic vertical relief found within the Navajo Indian Reservation. This 1989 provisional edition reflects landscape data field-checked in the mid-1980s, documenting a remote desert environment defined by seasonal drainage and shifting terrain. Notable topographic features include the deep cut of Water Tank Canyon and the presence of a localized Water Tank, suggesting the critical importance of water management in this arid territory. The southern reaches of the map are characterized by Shifting Sand, highlighting the dynamic geomorphology of the region. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between T 41 S and T 42 S, providing a clear reference for land-use and historical surveying within the reservation.
