1966 Map of Newcomb SE

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation landscape in the mid-1960s is defined by a dendritic network of ephemeral drainage systems converging toward the Chaco River. This arid terrain in San Juan County is marked by significant washes that speak to the region's hydrography, including the prominent Captain Tom Wash and Brimhall Wash to the north. The presence of a solitary Landing Strip in the northeast and scattered Well locations suggests a landscape of sparse infrastructure, where travel and resource extraction were tied to specific, localized points in the high desert. To the south, Teec-ni-di-tso Wash, Hunter Wash, and Sheep Springs Wash further illustrate the intricate erosion patterns and topographical complexity of this part of the Colorado Plateau.
