1955 Map of Zith-Tusayan Butte 3 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Navajo Indian Reservation lands in northeastern Arizona are documented here as they appeared in the mid-1950s, defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and upland plateaus. The landscape is carved by significant drainages including Kinlichee Creek in the north and the deep winding path of Bear Canyon. Human infrastructure is sparse, centered on the Indian Service Road 3 which traverses the high ground between the canyon systems. This preliminary survey emphasizes the water-dependent nature of life in the high desert, meticulously mapping numerous stock tanks, natural springs, and wells scattered across the terrain. These features, along with Piñon Wash and Wide Ruin Wash, illustrate the fundamental importance of hydrology to the pastoral and residential patterns of the area at this time.
