1955 Map of Sonsala Butte 1 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation landscape is defined here by the meeting of the Chuska Mountains and the Tunitcha Mountains in northeastern Arizona. This mid-century survey centers on the settlement of Lukachukai, where essential community hubs like the Lukachukai School and the St Isabel Mission serve the local population. Near the western edge, the Lukachukai Trading Post stands as a focal point for commerce at the base of the highlands. The complex drainage system is clearly mapped, showing how Tsaile Creek, Tohtso Wash, and Greasewood Wash navigate the descent from the high ridges toward the Greasewood Plateau. The distribution of small earthen structures, such as a Dam and several Dams near Lizard Wash, suggests a reliance on seasonal water management in this arid high-elevation environment.
