About this map

The settlement of Oljeto serves as the focal point for this 1980s landscape within the Navajo Indian Reservation. This map reveals a high-desert environment defined by massive sandstone formations, including Oljeto Mesa, Holiday Mesa, and the northern reaches of Monument Valley. Human activity is marked by more than just dwellings; the inclusion of Adits near the mesas suggests mineral exploration or mining history in the region, while a Landing Strip near the primary wash indicates the area's reliance on air transport for access. The hydrology of this arid terrain is traced through Oljeto Wash and isolated water sources like Mitchell Spring and Oljeto Spring, which were vital for life and livestock in this corner of San Juan County.
