About this map

Canyon De Chelly carves a deep path through the Navajo Indian Reservation in this 1983 survey, revealing a landscape defined by archaeological significance and geological markers. The terrain is dominated by high plateaus like Middle Mesa and the sheer verticality of the canyon system, featuring world-renowned landmarks such as the Spider Rock spire and the nearby Spider Rock Overlook. This document serves as a detailed record of cultural sites within the Canyon De Chelly National Monument, pinpointing the locations of ancient dwellings including Two Hole Ruin and Cave Ruin. Beyond these structures, the presence of Petroglyphs and named water sources like Elephant Grass Spring and the Hot Rock Windmill illustrate the intersection of historical Navajo land use and the region's preservation as a national monument.
