1972 Map of Turkey Track Butte

About this map

The Hopi Indian Reservation and Navajo Indian Reservation border one another in this high-desert landscape, where land use is marked by scattered ruins, corrals, and remote water sources. In the early 1970s, the terrain was traversed primarily by a network of Jeep Trails, linking isolated landmarks like Mexican Rest Spring and Mexican Rest Peak. The drainage of Cottonwood Wash dictates the movement of water through this arid region, supported by man-made improvements such as the Salt Water Tank and Well 5305. Distinctive geological features like Turkey Track Butte, Edge Butte, and Standing Rocks serve as the primary navigational anchors in a territory otherwise defined by wide washes and open range.
