1966 Map of The Hogback South

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Navajo Indian Reservation land defines this mid-1960s landscape, characterized by the dramatic geological rise of The Hogback in the northwest. The Chaco River meanders through the central valley, flanked by a network of drainage features like Coal Creek and Cottonwood Arroyo. This era of the New Mexico desert shows a clear intersection of traditional land use and mid-century industrial exploration, with scattered wells, a Drill Hole, and Mines indicating mineral and resource activity. The presence of a Radio Facility near the ridge highlights the region's role in modern communication infrastructure during this period. Researchers can trace the topographical layout of the reservation before significant modern development, noting the distribution of water sources like a lone Spring that were vital in this arid terrain.
