1990 Map of Onion Spring

About this map

The Hopi Indian Reservation landscape is defined by the prominent Second Mesa, which cuts a distinct diagonal path across the western portion of this 1990 survey. Water sources, vital for life in this arid region, are marked by the namesake Onion Spring in the north and Goat Spring further south. The drainage patterns are anchored by Wepo Wash in the southeast, where it flows past landmarks like Meat Point. Human interaction with the land is visible through a network of unimproved roads, multiple cattle corrals, and infrastructure like a Check Dam and a Drill Hole. This provisional manuscript reflects the terrain as documented in the mid-1960s and updated through the 1980s, preserving a record of Navajo County land use before significant modern development.
