1955 Map of Zith-Tusayan Butte 1 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The high-desert terrain of the Navajo Indian Reservation straddles the border of Arizona and New Mexico in this mid-century survey. The landscape is dominated by the broad elevation of the Defiance Plateau and the volcanic caldera of Buell Park, a distinctive circular depression flanked by Buell Mtn and Peridot Ridge. This geological transition point shows the descent from the plateau into Red Valley and Beautiful Valley, where drainage systems like Black Creek and Tohdildonih Wash carve the basin floor. Human activity is marked by sparse infrastructure, including a Jeep Trail and several Windmills, highlighting the region's reliance on groundwater management. Notable landmarks such as Starrett Mesa and Frog Rock provide clear reference points within this complex topography of mesas and washes.
