1966 Map of The Pillar 3 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation landscape is defined here by the winding course of the Chaco River, which carves a wide, sandy path through the high desert of San Juan County. Mapped in the mid-1960s, the terrain reveals a sparse network of water sources and infrastructure, including Indian Cr and a solitary Well located south of the river bend. This survey represents a specific moment in the mid-century development of the region, where traditional land use and modern utility projects began to intersect. Evidence of industrial expansion into the desert is visible through the presence of a Pipeline cutting across the southeastern corner, illustrating the growing infrastructure required to support resource extraction and transport across these remote reaches of New Mexico.
