About this map

The Four Corners region is dominated by the vast desert landscape of the Navajo Indian Reservation, where dramatic geological formations like the iconic Shiprock and Bennett Peak rise above the surrounding flats. In the mid-1950s, this area supported a network of remote outposts such as the Burnham Trading Post and Bisti Trading Post, alongside emerging industrial sites like the Helium Plant near the San Juan River. The eastern corridor shows the agricultural and population centers of Farmington, Aztec, and Bloomfield concentrated along the fertile river valleys.
