About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Defiance Plateau during the mid-1950s. The settlement of Sawmill serves as the focal point for local activity, featuring a concentrated cluster of structures supported by a Millpond, Marsh, and Water Tanks. This industry-aligned layout reflects the resource management necessary for processing timber in this wooded highland environment. To the north and west, the map details traditional land-use patterns with scattered Ruins and numerous water sources such as Tohnalchuh Spring and Covered Spring. A small portion of the Canyon De Chelly National Monument is visible in the northwest corner, while distinctive terrain markers like Fluted Rock Lookout and Red Butte provide critical orientation points across the plateau.
