1970 Map of Shonto NW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation landscape is defined here by deep drainage systems and high plateaus as they appeared in 1970. Significant cultural and topographical features such as Inscription House and the nearby Rodeo Grounds reflect the lived environment of this portion of Navajo County. The terrain is marked by the Shonto Plateau and several critical water sources, including Adadka Spring and Sand Spring. A network of Jeep Trails provides the primary transit through the complex topography of Geshi Canyon and along the Begashibito Wash. The map also identifies scattered Ruins and a Quarry, indicating both ancient and modern human activity within this high-desert environment. This survey captures a moment when traditional land use and limited modern infrastructure, like the localized Water Tank, coexisted across the drainage basins of Shonto Wash and Last End Wash.
