1969 Map of Wupatki NE

About this map

The Little Colorado River defines the heart of this Coconino County landscape, carving a path through high desert terrain at the end of the 1960s. To the west, the volcanic shelf of Black Point and the rising elevations of White Mesa overlook the river valley, while the eastern banks lie within the Navajo Indian Reservation. This area is notable for its concentration of ancient sites, specifically at the northern edge of Wupatki National Monument, where the Crack in Rock Ruins indicate a long history of human occupation.
