1968 Map of Many Farms

About this map

Many Farms serves as a focal point of infrastructure and education in this late-1960s landscape, dominated by the expansive Many Farms Lake. The map reveals a structured settlement pattern centered on the Many Farms Boarding School and the nearby Trading Post, illustrating the community's role as a regional hub. Water management is a primary theme, with the Chinle Wash cutting through the terrain and the presence of several Sewage Disposal Ponds indicating modern utility development. The network of wells and the established pool elevation of the reservoir highlight the significance of water resources for the boarding school and the surrounding community during this era of growth in Apache County.
