1955 Map of Zith-Tusayan Butte 2 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Nazlini Trading Post serves as the primary focal point of human activity in this mid-1950s survey of the Navajo Indian Reservation in Apache County. The landscape is dominated by the dramatic elevation changes of the Defiance Plateau and the prominent Rock Mesa to the east. Water management in this arid environment is clearly documented through features like the Nazlini Wash, a local Dam, and Tsegitoe Spring, alongside several tanks and windmills. This map captures the region's sparse infrastructure, showing a single Jeep Trail winding through the canyons and multiple unnamed Ruins that hint at the long history of habitation along the wash. The presence of a Sewage Disposal facility near the trading post indicates the concentrated nature of the settlement at this time.
