1972 Map of Navajo North
USGS Topo · Published 1975About this map
Padres Mesa dominates the northern landscape of this Apache County survey, where the high desert terrain is cut by seasonal drainages like Dead Wash and Crazy Creek. The southern corridor is defined by the vital transportation infrastructure of the early 1970s, specifically the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line running parallel to the Puerco River. Small nodes of activity like Navajo, Marty, and the Mc Carrell site appear alongside specialized features such as a Landing Strip and various Borrow Pits, reflecting a landscape of transit and resource extraction. The presence of numerous Drill Holes and isolated water tanks suggests the ongoing efforts to manage water and mineral resources in this arid region of the Navajo Nation.
