1967 Map of Pinon NW

About this map

The Navajo - Hopi Joint Use Area dominates this high-plateau landscape, showing the complex administrative geography of northern Arizona in the late 1960s. The terrain is defined by deeply incised drainage systems, most notably the winding courses of Oraibi Wash and Wepo Wash, which carve through the high mesas. A network of vital water sources is scattered across the arid topography, including Cottonwood Spring, Replacing Cover Spring, and Lamb Spring, each serving as a critical landmark in this desert environment. Notable landforms such as Two Red Peaks and the broad Sliding Rocks Valley provide vertical relief and orientation points for those navigating the region. The map reveals an intricate pattern of unimproved dirt roads and trails that follow the natural contours of the valley floors and ridges, linking remote reaches of the joint territory.
