1968 Map of Red Point Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Navajo Indian Reservation lands dominate this late 1960s topographic study, characterized by the dramatic escarpments of Red Point Mesa and White Rock Mesa. The arid landscape is defined by its water sources, most notably the winding course of Tyende Creek and the smaller Agende Creek. Near the base of the red mesas, Tah neh choa ah Spring serves as a critical natural landmark alongside several wells. The presence of a Corral and scattered Drill Holes indicates a territory utilized for both livestock and mineral exploration. The boundary between Navajo Co and Apache Co runs through the western portion of the quadrangle, cutting across high desert features like Greasewood Flat. This survey provides a precise look at the land's natural contours and early improvements before further modern development reached this part of Northern Arizona.
