1966 Map of Sanostee East

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation landscape around Sanostee is defined by a network of ephemeral drainages and distinct geologic formations within San Juan County. In the mid-1960s, this area supported both traditional settlement and industrial development, centered on the Tocito Dome Oil Field and various Well sites. The terrain is marked by prominent features like Rock Ridge and Rock Mesa, which rise above the primary watercourses of Sanostee Wash and Tocito Wash. Near the community of Tocito, the presence of Tocito Springs suggests a vital local water source in an otherwise arid environment. This survey captures the infrastructure of the era, including a major Pipeline and localized development such as a Drill Hole and several dispersed dwellings, reflecting the coordination of mineral extraction with reservation life.
