About this map

Navajo Indian Reservation lands dominate this mid-century landscape in San Juan County, characterized by a complex network of seasonal watercourses and industrial infrastructure. The Chaco River carves a broad path through the terrain, joined by tributaries including Hunter Wash, De-na-zin Wash, and Indian Creek. These drainages define the movement across the high desert, where water availability is marked by scattered labels for Well and Wells. Human activity is primarily centered on resource extraction and utility transport, evidenced by several Mine locations and long stretches of Pipeline that traverse the plateaus. The map documents the region's transition into a more industrialized era while maintaining its traditional identity, providing a clear record of land use and surveying before more modern developments altered the local topography.
