1972 Map of Montezumas Chair

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Montezumas Chair rises above the high desert floor of the Navajo Indian Reservation, serving as a primary landmark in a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and remote boundary lines. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the map reveals a sparsely settled region where survival and movement are closely tied to water sources like Honey Spring and Little Water. The presence of a solitary Corral and several Jeep Trails suggests a land managed for livestock and accessed by rugged vehicles rather than paved roads. Significant boundaries, including the Joint Use Area Boundary, crisscross the area, reflecting the complex jurisdictional history of this portion of Navajo County. The winding paths of Jadito Wash and Tees Toh Wash illustrate the natural drainage patterns that dominate the arid terrain.
