About this map

Tuba City serves as the focal point for this late 1960s survey within the Navajo Indian Reservation. The community is shown in significant detail, featuring a Hospital, High School, and essential services like the Police Station and Fire Station. To the south, industrial and community infrastructure appears through the Rare Metals site, a Sewage Disposal Pond, and the nearby Rodeo Grounds.

The landscape is defined by its water sources and dramatic geologic features, including Pasture Canyon Reservoir and Greasewood Lake. High points and landmarks such as Dynamite Hill, Standing Rock, and the Castle Buttes provide vertical relief against the expansive Sand Dunes. For genealogists and local historians, several named water sources like Charley Day Well and Dotson Spring offer clues to land use, while a local Cemetery and multiple radio towers mark the era's footprint.
