1966 Map of White Cone

About this map

Hopi Indian Reservation and Navajo Indian Reservation lands dominate this mid-century survey, defined by the distinct mesas and volcanic buttes that rise from the desert floor. The landscape is marked by the Joint Use Area Boundary, a significant geopolitical designation of the era. Prominent landmarks such as Stephen Butte, White Cone Peak, and the long stretches of First Flat Mesa and Second Flat Mesa provide a clear view of the high-elevation terrain. Life and movement in this arid environment are traced through essential water sources like Jadito Spring, Coyote Spring, and White Cone Spring, alongside seasonal drainage networks including Jadito Wash and Ha-whi-yalin Wash. Scattered Water Tanks and a Quarry suggest the limited but vital human infrastructure supporting pastoral or industrial activity within these tribal lands.
