About this map

Black Creek flows through the central valley of this 1971 landscape, located within the Navajo Indian Reservation along the border of Arizona and New Mexico. The area is defined by its educational and community hubs, notably the Hunters Point Boarding Sch and the Navajo Mission, which sit near a local Cem and the Hunters Point Trading Post.

The presence of numerous family-named water sources such as Billie Notchis Well, John Nez Well, and Peterson Well highlights the vital importance of groundwater in this high-desert environment. Industrial activity is visible in the northeast corner with a Strip Mine, while the Window Rock Pumping Station and several pipelines suggest the region's role in local utility infrastructure during the early 1970s.
