1966 Map of Newcomb NE

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation landscape is defined by the carved paths of the Chaco River and its seasonal tributaries in the high desert of northwestern New Mexico. This mid-century topographical record shows the intricate drainage systems of Sanostee Wash and Pinabete Arroyo as they snake through the high plateaus. While the area remains largely unpopulated by major settlements, the presence of a Mine, Drill Hole, and multiple scattered Well sites indicates a period of focused resource exploration and subsurface survey across these tribal lands. The map also traces the Peña Blanca Arroyo, illustrating the complex natural erosion patterns that have shaped the San Juan basin over millennia.
