About this map

Navajo Tribal Headquarters serves as the administrative center of the Navajo Indian Reservation in this detailed 1980s provisional survey. The landscape is defined by the convergence of Bonito Creek and Black Creek, where the settlements of Fort Defiance and Window Rock have established deep-rooted institutional presences. Significant cultural and educational sites are distributed throughout the valley, including the St Michaels Indian Sch at Saint Michaels and the Window Rock High Sch.

The presence of the Mc Kinley Mine and the Navajo Tribal Fair Ground reflects the area's mixed economy of resource extraction and community gathering. Notable geological landmarks like The Haystacks and the namesake Window Rock provide vertical relief against the high desert floor, while infrastructure like the Window Rock Airport and its Asphalt Runway mark the modern accessibility of this tribal seat during the late twentieth century.
