1968 Map of Tah Chee Wash

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation landscape documented in 1968 is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and named valleys that reveal the hydraulic character of this high desert region. Major watercourses like Tah Chee Wash, Oraibi Wash, and Wepo Wash cut through the terrain, flanked by notable geological features such as Rain Mountain and the distinctive Sitting Giant Rock. The map illustrates the historical infrastructure of the area through numerous water sources essential for survival and livestock, including Coal Spring, Salt Well, and various unnamed wells and springs.
