1968 Map of Rough Rock NW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation landscape within the Black Mesa region is defined by deep drainage systems and prominent geological formations. In the late 1960s, this area near Rough Rock was characterized by traditional livestock support infrastructure, including several named water sources like Yellow Man Spring, Red Tree Spring, and Sand Spring. The high desert terrain is punctuated by significant landmarks such as Red Peak and the sharp spire of The Needle near Toh De Kaish. Evidence of mineral exploration appears in the southern portion of the quadrangle with identified Mines and a Drill Hole near the Navajo and Apache county line. Travel through this environment relied on specialized routes, including the Hajibai Trail and the seasonally difficult Pain in the Back Canyon, while Warpath Valley provided a natural corridor through the mesas.
