1966 Map of The Hogback North

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The dramatic ridge of The Hogback dominates this landscape within the Navajo Indian Reservation, serving as a striking geological boundary that dictates the flow of local industry and water management. To the north, the San Juan River provides the vital water source for the Fruitland Irrigation Canal and Hogback Canal, infrastructure essential for high-desert agriculture. The map captures the mid-century industrial footprint of San Juan County, notably the Hogback Oil Field and various extractive sites such as a Borrow Pit and Gravel Pits. Water and waste management are central themes, evidenced by the presence of Tailings Ponds and an Aqueduct. These features, along with the meandering Chaco River and Chinde Wash, illustrate the complex relationship between the area's natural topography and the human efforts to harness its resources.
