1970 Map of Tall Mountain NW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Piute Canyon carves a deep path through the high desert landscape of the Navajo Indian Reservation, serving as the central geographic feature of this 1970 field-checked survey. The map reveals evidence of ancient habitation through several marked Ruins and a specific Cliff Dwelling tucked into the canyon walls. These archaeological sites are joined by physical markers of later exploration, such as a Drill Hole and a winding Pack Trail that follows the contour of the terrain. The high elevation of Piute Mesa and the Shonto Plateau overlook the canyon floor, where the presence of Falls indicates the seasonal movement of water through this arid environment. Bordering the junction of San Juan, Navajo, and Coconino counties, the area remains defined by its natural barriers and sparse human footprints, connected primarily by primitive trails rather than established roads.
