1982 Map of Shadow Mtn. Well

About this map

Shadow Mtn Well serves as a remote landmark within the extensive Navajo Indian Reservation in Coconino County. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Hamblin Wash and Moenkopi Wash, which shape the arid terrain of northern Arizona. Human activity in this high-desert environment is evidenced by early industrial and resource-gathering sites, including several Prospects near the northern boundary and a Cinder Pit to the south. This 1982 survey, based on 1970s aerial photography, documents the intersection of modern transportation and essential water infrastructure. A Gaging Station located along the wash indicates the importance of monitoring water flow in this region, while the junction of Highway 89 and Highway 160 provides the primary transit corridor through the reservation lands.
