1966 Map of Newcomb NE

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Chaco River carves a dominant path through this corner of the Navajo Indian Reservation, defining a landscape where seasonal drainage and mineral exploration intersect. This mid-century survey captures the region's hydraulic network, featuring the prominent confluence of Sanostee Wash and the braided channels of the river. The topography is further shaped by deep-cutting waterways such as Pinabete Arroyo and Peña Blanca Arroyo, which illustrate the erosion patterns of the San Juan Basin. Beyond the natural landforms, the map documents early industrial activity in the form of a Mine and a Drill Hole, providing a record of resource extraction efforts within the reservation during the 1960s. For those studying the geological and industrial history of this high-desert region, these markers offer a specific look at the intersection of traditional land use and modern geological surveying.
