1966 Map of Kin Klizhin Ruins

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Ccnm Kin Klizhin Ruins and the massive masonry of Pañasco Blanco Ruins anchor this high-desert landscape in northwestern New Mexico during the mid-1960s. These ancient Chacoan sites are protected within the boundaries of the Chaco Canyon National Monument, which follows the wide, winding course of the Chaco River. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes where the West Mesa overlooks a complex network of seasonal drainages, including the Ah-shi-sle-pah Wash, Kin Klizhin Wash, and Escavada Wash. Scattered infrastructure such as Padilla Well, Beyale Well, and a Corral indicate the area's continued use for livestock and water access. The map also records the jurisdictional boundary where the landscape crosses from San Juan County into McKinley County, illustrating how modern political lines bisect this ancient cultural corridor.
