About this map

The Kinlichee Chapter House serves as a focal point for this section of the Navajo Indian Reservation in the early 1980s. This high-desert landscape is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including the Pueblo Colorado Wash, Kinlichee Creek, and Daachaahi Wash. The presence of the Kinlichee Boarding Sch and a local Cem underscores the community infrastructure established in this part of Apache County.

Commercial and industrial footprints are localized but distinct, notably at the Cross Canyon Trading Post and various extraction sites like the Borrow Pit. The terrain is marked by prominent landforms such as Choyoj-do-lid Hill and water sources like Be-ite-Lini Spring, while modern utilities are represented by Steel Tower Transmission Lines cutting across the mesas. The map documents a period of transition where traditional trading hubs and natural landmarks coexist with institutional developments and infrastructure.
