1968 Map of Tall Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Navajo Indian Reservation lands dominate this high-desert landscape in northern Arizona, as documented by aerial photography from 1967. The terrain is defined by the broad expanse of Greasewood Flat to the north and the prominent rise of Tall Mesa at the center of the quadrangle. Hydrological patterns are marked by the winding course of Tyende Creek, which is joined by the seasonal drainage of Burro Wash. The lack of named settlements reflects the area's pastoral character during the late 1960s, with a single Water Tank serving as one of the few man-made landmarks noted by surveyors. This 1968 field-checked record provides a precise look at the natural topography and drainage systems before later development or landscape shifts.
