1968 Map of Kayenta West

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Kayenta serves as the primary outpost on this portion of the Navajo Indian Reservation, established near the base of the dramatic Tyende Mesa. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Laguna Creek and its various tributaries, including Parrish Creek and Brent Wash. The high desert terrain is punctuated by vital water sources such as Little Shonto Spring, Fir Spring, and Tees Spa Spring, which were essential for both residents and livestock in this arid environment. Significant cultural and community markers are present, including the local Rodeo Ground and a designated area for Graves near the settlement. The southern half of the map is dominated by the steep escarpments leading to Lolamai Point, where deep drainages like Yellow Water Canyon carve through the plateau, illustrating the complex erosion patterns that characterize this region of Arizona.
