1966 Map of Newcomb SE

About this map

The Chaco River carves a central path through this section of the Navajo Indian Reservation, defining a landscape of complex drainage systems in the high desert of New Mexico. Surveyed in the mid-1960s, the map reveals an intricate network of seasonal watercourses, including Brimhall Wash, Captain Tom Wash, and the phonetically distinct Teec-ni-di-tso Wash. The terrain is characterized by these sprawling washes and deep arroyos that feed into the main river channel from both the east and west.
