1966 Map of Tovar Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The high plateau of the Hopi Indian Reservation and the surrounding Navajo Hopi Joint Use Area define this mid-1960s landscape in Navajo and Coconino Counties. This arid expanse is characterized by deep drainages like Oraibi Wash and Polacca Wash, which cut through the wind-swept Sand Dunes and the rising slopes of Tovar Mesa. Water management is the central theme of human activity shown here, evident in the network of small reservoirs such as Navajo Lookout Dam, Backbone Dam, and White Clay Dam.
