1968 Map of Walker Creek Reservoir

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation along the Arizona-Utah border is defined by a landscape of high mesas and deep drainages, mapped here in the late 1960s. The Mexican Water Trading Post stands as a focal point for the area's commerce and community life, situated near the intersection of Route 164. Water is the critical resource across this arid terrain, evidenced by the development of the Walker Creek Reservoir and the naming of vital sources like Waterfall Spring and Willow Spring.
