1966 Map of Table Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The high desert landscape of the Navajo Indian Reservation is defined here by industrial activity and striking geologic formations. The Table Mesa Oil Field dominates the northeastern sector, marked by a network of unimproved roads connecting numerous sites labeled as well, drill hole, and a Pumping Sta. A prominent Pipeline cuts across the terrain, reflecting the mid-20th-century energy development in San Juan County. Natural landmarks provide sharp contrast to this infrastructure, specifically the sheer rise of Cathedral Cliff and the isolated mass of Table Mesa. Drainage patterns are carved by Dead Mans Wash in the northwest and Coal Creek to the east. Evidence of surface extraction appears elsewhere through a Quarry and scattered mine symbols, while a Radio Tower stands as a lonely marker of communication infrastructure in this expansive territory.
