1966 Map of La Vida Mission

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

La Vida Mission serves as a primary hub in this desert landscape during the mid-1960s, complete with its own La Vida Mission Landing Strip situated north of the Chaco River. The settlement pattern reflects the specific educational and social infrastructure of the region, anchored by the Lake Valley Boarding School and the Lake Valley Chapter House near Lake Valley. To the south, the map captures a portion of the Chaco Canyon National Monument, marking the intersection of the San Juan and McKinley County line. The terrain is defined by dramatic drainage systems, including Yellow Point Valley and Rock Point Valley, which provide geographical context for historic sites like the Kim-me-ni-oli Ruins. The presence of the Tsaya Trading Post further illustrates the localized commerce essential to this high-desert environment before modern road networks were fully developed.
