1971 Map of Long House Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Long House Valley serves as a central corridor for this high-desert landscape within the Navajo Indian Reservation during the early 1970s. The geography is defined by a series of narrow valleys and washes, including Yellow Water Canyon and Wild Ram Valley, which carve through the high plateaus. Cultural history is evident at the Long House Ruin in House Canyon, providing a link to the ancestral inhabitants of the region. Industrial development is focused on the southwestern reaches, where energy infrastructure like the Coal Mine, Coal Well, and Coal Mine Radio Towers sits adjacent to a Landing Strip. The map also traces the Navajo-Hopi Joint Use Area Bdy, marking a significant administrative boundary of the era. Dispersed resources like a Spring and a seasonal Well near Beda Tohie highlight the vital importance of water in this arid environment.
