1983 Map of Nazlini
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Nazlini serves as the central hub of this 1983 Navajo Nation interior, situated within the Navajo Indian Reservation. The community structure is defined by the presence of a Chapter House, a local Trading Post, and a Boarding Sch, reflecting the administrative and educational infrastructure of the era. To the north and east, the landscape is dominated by significant elevations such as Gray Mountain and Upper Forest Mountain, while the hydrology of the region is traced through the intricate drainage of Nazlini Creek and its many tributary washes, including Toh-ath-cheed Wash. Scattered across the high desert floor are practical landmarks of ranching and ancient history, from a network of Windmills and Corrals to isolated archaeological Ruins and a Cave tucked away near the canyon walls. This survey captures a moment of modern development, noted by a underground gas pipeline, set against the timeless geology of Rock Mesa.
