Description

Detailed map of the Navajo Indian Reservation, prepared by Paul Brodie for the Office of Indian Affairs in Santa Fe, New Mexico, June 12, 1886.

Finely detailed map of the Navajo Indian Reservation, showing an expansion of the reservation north of the Hopi Reservation and into southeastern Utah.

Includes details regarding the location of cave dwellings, the Divide of Puerco & De Chelly, changes in boundaries with details, and more. Creeks, rivers, canyons, valleys, mountains, mesas, villages, lakes and passes are shown.

The map locates and names the Hopi Mesas ("Buttes") Canyon de Chelly, Fort Defiance and Wingate, Laguna (Pueblo), Walker Church, White Rock Springs, the Crossing of the Fathers, and much more. The route traveled by Special Agent Parsons is illustrated.

It is interesting to note that the lands gained in Utah on this version of the map are later noted as removed by Executive Order on the 1892 edition of this map.

In Colorado the Southern Ute Indian Reservation is located, as is Durango and a portion of the Denver & Rio Grande RR.
