1966 Map of The Pillar 3 NE

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation landscape is defined by the winding course of the Chaco River as it passes through San Juan County in the mid-1960s. This survey, based on 1965 aerial photography and 1966 field checks, captures a high-desert environment where water remains the primary determinant of activity and geography. Smaller drainage features like Indian Cr feed into the main river valley, while a lone Well and a solitary Pipeline represent the sparse infrastructure of the era. The topographic detail highlights the intricate drainage patterns and mesa edges that characterize this section of the reservation before more modern development reached the area.
