1966 Map of The Pillar 3 NE

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation dominates this high-desert landscape in northwestern New Mexico, where the intricate hydrology of the San Juan Basin is on full display. The Chaco River snakes through the central terrain, joined by seasonal watercourses including De-na-zin Wash, Hunter Wash, and Indian Creek. This 1966 field survey reveals a land defined by its natural drainages and the emerging industrial infrastructure of the mid-century, specifically a long-distance Pipeline cutting across the northwestern and central sectors. While the territory appears largely unpopulated, the presence of scattered wells and a specific Mine site indicates active resource extraction and water management during this era. The topographic detail highlights the complex erosion patterns and mesa edges characteristic of this region, providing a clear record of the land before modern developments.
