1970 Map of Two Red Mesas

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation landscape is defined by the significant presence of archaeological and geological landmarks in this 1970 survey. High terrain features such as Gray Mesa and the eponymous Two Red Mesas dominate the northern and central sections, while the drainage network includes Starting Water Wash and Square Butte Wash. Of particular historical interest are the Cliff Dwellings and a singular Cliff Dwelling located along the steep slopes of Potato Canyon, indicating the long-standing human connection to these sandstone formations. Settlement and ranching evidence is sparse but specific, noted by the presence of Bennett Corral and Bennett Spring in the southwestern quadrant. These markers, along with various scattered Spring and Water Tank labels, underscore the critical importance of water management in this arid Coconino County environment.
