1968 Map of Rock Point SW

About this map

Carson Mesa dominates this high-desert landscape in the northeast corner of the Navajo Indian Reservation. This 1968 survey documents a remote portion of Apache County characterized by vast plateaus and the drainage systems that define the region's topography. The western portion of the map is shaped by the Dibe Cha a Valley, where the ephemeral Dibe Cha a Wash winds through the terrain. A historical Old Treaty Boundary cuts through the eastern edge of the quadrangle, serving as a significant legal and cartographic marker of land administration in the mid-20th century. Cultural markers are sparse in this area, but the presence of a Trading Post and a Water Tank indicates the essential points of contact and resource management for those living on and traversing the reservation during this period.
