1967 Map of Little Black Spot Mtn

About this map

Little Black Spot Mtn stands as a central landmark in this high-desert landscape of Navajo County, reflecting the complex land management of the late 1960s. The map illustrates a transitional geography where the White Valley meets the northern reaches of First Mesa. Large portions of the terrain are designated within the Navajo Hopi Joint Use Area and the Hopi Indian Reservation, capturing a specific moment in the administrative history of these tribal lands. Small settlements and points of interest such as Chilchinbeto, Hostiin Akahibito, and Tolah Nasein are scattered across the quadrangle, connected by unimproved roads. Water sources are critical features in this arid environment, marked by numerous named points including Ponderosa Pine Spring, Pigeon Spring, and Rough Rock Well. The drainage patterns of Wepo Wash further define the topography of this isolated region.
