1963 Map of Oak Spring

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation landscape in the early 1960s is defined by a complex network of arid canyons and high mesas, where life centered around critical water sources. Named springs such as Oak Spring and Rock Spring served as vital landmarks in this high-desert environment, while the southern edge of the area is marked by the course of the Puerco River. A modern industrial layer is evident through the presence of a Pipeline that cuts across the terrain, reflecting the era's mid-century energy development.
