1966 Map of Sulphur Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation landscape documented here in the mid-1960s reflects a balance between rugged desert topography and industrial utility. Resource extraction is evident throughout the terrain, particularly within the Table Mesa Oil Field where numerous Oil Well and Drill Hole markers dot the flats. Transportation through this arid region centers on the Red Rock Highway and a remote Landing Strip, providing essential access to isolated landmarks such as Cactus Peak. Water, though often ephemeral, is the primary sculptor of the land, evidenced by the extensive network of drainage systems including Rattlesnake Wash, Many Devils Wash, and Dead Mans Wash which feed toward the Chaco River. The presence of the Sulphur Spring Campground and Ship Rock Campground near Sulphur Spring suggests the area's significance for travelers and local community gatherings during this era.
