About this map

Na Ah Tee Trading Post stands as a focal point in this 1970s survey of the Navajo Indian Reservation, situated near the junction of canyon and mesa terrain. The landscape is defined by the Hopi Buttes and the expansive Gray Mesa, with a notable concentration of water sources such as Na Ah Tee Canyon Spring and Doh-Halian Spring that were vital for local subsistence.

Evidence of modern infrastructure appears in the form of a Radio Facility and several pipelines cutting across the high desert, while natural landmarks like the Coliseum and Up Rock Point anchor the physical geography. The drainage patterns of Coyote Wash and Gleshbito Wash illustrate the complex topography of the Na Ah Tee Canyon system, documenting a period when traditional trading post life intersected with expanding regional utility networks.
