1966 Map of The Pillar 3 SW

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation landscape is defined by its intricate drainage patterns and mesa topography in this mid-1960s study. Spanning the border of San Juan Co and McKinley Co, the terrain is largely uninhabited, characterized by a complex network of dry washes and high-desert contours. The absence of formal settlements highlights the isolation of this corner of New Mexico, where geographic features dictate the movement across the high plateau. Researchers of tribal lands and desert topography can trace the natural landforms that remained largely undisturbed by major development at the time of this survey.
