1966 Map of Kirtland SE

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation landscape recorded in this mid-1960s survey reveals a high desert expanse defined by its energy development and drainage patterns. Energy infrastructure is the primary human footprint, marked by a prominent Pipeline cutting diagonally across the terrain and numerous resource extraction points including a Gas Well and several labels for a Drill Hole. These industrial markers sit alongside traditional landmarks such as the Blackwater Well, reflecting the era's focus on surveying mineral and water resources for the Bureau of Reclamation. In the northeast corner, the Ojo Amarillo Canyon provides the most significant natural topographic relief, carving through the sandstone-capped plateaus. This edition, which includes 1978 revisions, serves as a record of land use and resource management in San Juan County during a period of transition in the American Southwest.
