About this map

Navajo Indian Reservation land dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Utah and Arizona, centered on the dramatic rise of Navajo Mountain. The area is characterized by deep drainage systems that cut through the plateau, including Bald Rock Canyon, Cha Canyon, and Desha Canyon, which channel water toward the north. A few established outposts like Navajo Begay and Rainbow City are marked amidst the network of primitive trails and improved roads that navigate the complex topography. Near the base of the mountain, War God Spring serves as a critical water source in this arid environment. The map records the intersection of San Juan and Coconino counties, providing a detailed view of the remote habitation patterns and geographic landmarks within the reservation during the late twentieth century.
