About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little Colorado River and the stark descent into Canyon Diablo in the southeastern corner. This late 1960s survey documents the community of Leupp during a period of institutional development, marked by the presence of the Leupp Boarding Sch, the Leupp Sch, and a Headstart Sch. The infrastructure of the era is clearly visible, with a network of pipelines cutting across the desert floor, supported by a Compressor Station and Substation. This map provides a clear record of local transportation and utility expansion, from the Leupp Road corridor to the Sunrise Landing Field, showing how the arid terrain was navigated and utilized for education and energy transport.
