1983 Map of Red Clay Wash

About this map

Wood Spring Trading Post serves as a central landmark in this high-desert portion of the Navajo Indian Reservation. The 1983 landscape is defined by an intricate network of desert watercourses, including Red Clay Wash, Lone Tule Wash, and House Wash, which carve through the prominent elevated terrain of Red Mesa. While the area is largely characterized by open range and ranching infrastructure, such as various long-running Fence lines and corrals, human activity is also marked by modern utilities including a Steel Tower Power Line and the U.S.G. Gas Line. Localized water sources like White Around The Mtn Spring, Lukachukai Well, and the Tse it gal Shii Well are vital components of the regional geography, supporting the small settlement at Wood Spring.
