About this map

Kayenta serves as the focal point of this late-1960s survey, where the burgeoning community infrastructure is evidenced by the Monument Valley H S, a local Cem, and the Kayenta Landing Field. This high-desert landscape within the Navajo Indian Reservation is defined by its dramatic geological formations and essential water sources, ranging from the prominent Hallburn Ridge to the seasonal courses of Laguna Creek and Cottonwood Wash.

A network of unimproved roads and fences crisscrosses the terrain, connecting isolated landmarks like the Cottonwood Windmill and various wells. The contrast between traditional land use and modern utility is visible in the long Pipeline corridor cutting across the northern reaches, while natural features like Black Rock Standing and the Facing Red Points provide unmistakable navigational markers in Church Rock Valley.
