1971 Map of Wide Ruins SW

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation landscape is meticulously documented here, showing the intricate topographic relief of the Arizona high desert in the early 1970s. The map highlights the western edge of Padres Mesa, a significant geological landform that dominates the western portion of the sheet. Surveyed through photogrammetric methods from late-1960s aerial photography, the sheet records the specific pastoral and industrial infrastructure of the era, including a lone Water Tank and a Quarry in the southern sector. The Indian Reservation Boundary is clearly delineated along the bottom of the map, marking the legal and jurisdictional perimeter of the sovereign land during a period of steady environmental mapping by the Department of the Interior.
