1968 Map of Sweathouse Peak

About this map

Carson Mesa and the surrounding high desert terrain within the Navajo Indian Reservation dominate this late-1960s survey. The landscape is defined by dramatic elevation changes, moving from the depths of Cottonwood Canyon and Wind Rock Valley up to prominent landmarks like Yale Point and Sweathouse Peak. For those studying the geography of this portion of Apache County, the map provides precise locations for vital water sources, including Sweetwater Spring, Cow Spring, and Nee Springs. Evidence of human activity in this remote area is documented through a Radio Tower, a single identified Mine, and a Prospect located near Red Willow Canyon. The topography is further detailed by a network of seasonal washes and steep-walled canyons, such as Tse Da Ahoodzo Canyon and Sagebrush Canyon, connected by a designated Pack Trail.
