About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation landscape is defined by vast drainage networks and scattered water sources in this mid-century survey. Arid geography dictates the locations of infrastructure here, as seen in the several instances of Stock Tank and a lonely Windmill positioned to support livestock. The terrain is marked by the prominent Ives Mesa in the southeast and the winding course of the Whe-yol-da-sah Wash.

Evidence of early modernization is visible in a Pipeline that cuts across the high desert, while a network of Jeep Trails and unnamed Trails provides the primary means of navigation through the Coconino and Navajo County borderlands. Named water features like Bird Springs and the seasonal Bird Springs Wash highlight the critical points of interest for local history and land-use studies in this corner of the Arizona desert.
