1968 Map of Windy Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Navajo Indian Reservation land dominates this high-altitude landscape in Apache County, defined by the stark transition between the elevated expanse of Carson Mesa and the lower depths of Windy Valley. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map records a territory where ancient and contemporary features coexist, from a marked Cliff Dwelling tucked into the canyon walls to the essential water sources like Toh Dah Hee Dat Conni and Little Pipe Spring. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is defined by the Old Treaty Boundary, a significant line of demarcation that runs parallel to the Chinle Valley. Distinctive geological formations, such as the White Hills and the specific landmark of Window Rock, provide essential orientation points in this arid region, illustrating the complex topography that has shaped settlement and land use across the Navajo Nation.
