1971 Map of Long House Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Long House Valley serves as a primary corridor for transportation and resource extraction within the Navajo Indian Reservation. This map reveals a complex industrial footprint established by the early 1970s, dominated by extensive Mine Strip operations and a significant Conveyor Belt system that cuts across the high terrain. The land use here is a striking mix of the ancient and the modern; the Long House Ruin stands in House Canyon near the northern edge, while a Landing Strip and Radio Towers serve the industrial needs of the coal operations to the south. Moving through the drainage of Yellow Water Canyon, the landscape is marked by Coal Wells and various prospects, illustrating the intensive mineral exploration that defined this era in Northern Arizona. A network of Jeep Trails and a Pack Trail provide the only access into the remote reaches of Wild Ram Valley.
