About this map

Tsaile Peak stands as a prominent landmark within the high-elevation terrain of the Lukachukai Mountains in the mid-1950s. Located within the Navajo Indian Reservation, this survey captures the intersection of the Arizona New Mexico state line and the Apache Co San Juan Co boundary. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems, including Tsaile Creek and Wheatfields Creek, which carve through the steep topography.

Evidence of historical occupation is marked by the presence of Ruins located north of Tsaile Peak, while water resources are identified through several Ponds, Lakes, and a Spring. This preliminary edition focuses on the physical geography of the high desert and mountain environment, providing a detailed record of the natural features and boundary lines before the completion of the standard 15-minute series for this portion of the Southwest.
