1971 Map of Uranium Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation landscape is defined by the carved path of Black Creek and its southern tributary, the West Fork Black Creek. In this high-desert region of Apache County, water sources are the primary indicators of human activity and survival. Named features like Uranium Spring, Oak Spring, and Burnside Well mark critical points in an otherwise arid environment, while the presence of Corrals and a remote Jeep Trail suggest a reliance on ranching and seasonal movement of livestock. Small-scale exploration is evident near the creek through labeled Prospects, hinting at the mineral interests that likely gave the area's namesake spring its name. The layout of Campus Tank and various unnamed wells underscores the engineering required to sustain life and industry in the interior of the reservation during the early 1970s.
