1969 Map of Moenkopi
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Moenkopi serves as the focal point of this high-desert landscape within the Navajo Indian Reservation, where the community’s infrastructure includes sewage disposal ponds and several water sources. The terrain is defined by the carved path of Moenkopi Wash and the surrounding Kerley Valley, punctuated by landmarks such as Owls Cap and the geological formation at Balanced Rock. Local history is visible through scattered habitations like Tahniti and the evocative rock formation known as Three Wise Men. Remote desert infrastructure is captured by a network of pipelines, jeep trails, and several strategically located corrals. This survey illustrates a desert environment where water is a precious commodity, evidenced by named sites like John Elsity Spring, Ironwood Springs, and Crater Well which supported the area's agricultural and pastoral life in the late 1960s.
