1954 Map of Shiprock

About this map

The Chuska Mountains and Lukachukai Mountains form a high-altitude spine across this section of the high desert, anchoring a landscape defined by traditional Navajo land use and federal designations. Early 1960s infrastructure is centered on the San Juan River valley, where Farmington, Fruitland, and Kirtland represent the primary population centers. Beyond these settlements, the map reveals a vast network of trading posts and missions that served as vital social and economic hubs for the Navajo Indian Reservation, including the Chinle Valley Trading Post and the Rock Point Mission.
