1966 Map of Washington Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Washington Pass dominates this high-altitude landscape within the Navajo Indian Reservation during the mid-1960s. The terrain is defined by a series of critical water sources, including Oak Spring, Cottonwood Spring, and Owl Spring, which likely served as vital landmarks for local movement across the Chuska Mountains. Watercourses such as Tuntsa Wash and Naschitti Wash drain the eastern slopes, while Bowl Canyon Creek and Crystal Creek flow to the west. The presence of a Radio Facility and scattered wells indicates the modest infrastructure of the era, supporting the high-desert and mountain activities of the region. The map also delineates the San Juan and McKinley County line, crossing through this isolated high country where Long Lake sits as a primary geographical anchor.
