About this map

Many Ghosts Hill rises from the high desert landscape of the Navajo Indian Reservation in Coconino County, serving as a prominent landmark in this 1982 survey. The area is defined by massive geological formations like White Ridge, Mormon Ridge, and the Wild Horse Trap Mesa, illustrating the varied topography of northern Arizona. The presence of the Black Mesa and Lake Powell railroad corridor highlights the industrial infrastructure required to move resources across this vast territory.

Water sources are scarce but significant, with seasonal features such as Antelope Creek, Peach Wash, and the artificial Alkali Tank providing vital points of reference. While residential settlements are limited to isolated structures like the Corral, the map records land use through features such as a Borrow Pit and the wide expanse of Low Valley. This edition documents the region just as it appeared in the early 1980s, based on aerial photography from the mid-1970s.
