1983 Map of White Clay

About this map

Canyon de Chelly National Monument and the Navajo Indian Reservation define the rugged geography of this high-desert region in northeastern Arizona. The landscape is marked by deep drainage systems including Whiskey Creek, Coyote Wash, and Catloit Wash, which cut through the sandstone plateaus toward the canyon depths. Human presence is documented through sparse but significant infrastructure such as the White Clay Windmill and scattered Corrals, illustrating the traditional pastoral land use of the area in the late twentieth century.
