1968 Map of Sweetwater Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation spans this high desert landscape on the boundary of Navajo and Apache Counties. The terrain is dominated by the massive formations of Sweetwater Mesa and White Rock Mesa, which rise sharply above the surrounding flats. Human presence is marked by small settlements and resource points like Al Tee Toh, Toh Ah Glau, and a Cistern at the southern edge. The map captures a moment in the late 1960s when the region's infrastructure was limited to unimproved roads and light-duty trails. Significant landmarks such as Three Black Rocks and the drainage of Burro Wash provide critical orientation points in this expansive area, while industrial activity is hinted at by a Drill Hole and a Borrow Pit, reflecting the geological exploration occurring within the reservation during this period.
