1968 Map of Mexican Water SW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Chinle Valley is the focal point of this late 1960s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by seasonal water sources and ancient history within the Navajo Indian Reservation. The map records several notable Cliff Dwellings along the eastern drainages, indicating long-standing indigenous habitation patterns across the high desert terrain. The water network is particularly detailed, showing essential survival points such as Hummingbird Spring, Sand Springs, and Sunnyside Spring, along with several flowing wells that sustained the area. The eastern edge of the sheet is marked by the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, a significant historical line in the region's geography. Prominent landforms like Skinny Mesa and Antelope Ridge border the broad wash of Chinle Wash, providing a clear view of the geological structure of this part of Apache County as it appeared just before the 1970s.
