1968 Map of Owl Spring

About this map

Navajo Indian Reservation lands dominate this late-1960s topographic study, revealing a landscape defined by high mesas and deep drainage basins. Archeological presence is indicated by the Cliff Dwelling tucked near Rock Gap, while the water resources of Owl Spring and the curiously named Many Skull Spring provide focal points in an otherwise arid environment. The map details a transition across the Old Indian Reservation Boundary, cutting through varied terrain from the heights of Small White Mesa down to the low reaches of Dipping Bucket Valley.
