![]() ![]() For instance, many businesses in Tuba City observe standard time just like the rest of Arizona for commercial reasons and to avoid confusing tourists. Plus the lines aren’t even as clean as suggested. However it’s still a fun set of circumstances to ponder. In reality our traveler wouldn’t actually change his watch four times along this 90 mile route. Our fictional traveler would start in DST (Jeddito, Navajo exclave), switch to standard time (Hopi), switch to DST (Navajo), switch to standard time (Moenkopi, Hopi exclave) and switch to DST (Navajo) at Tuba City. ![]() Imagine someone traveling from Jeddito on Route 264 to Tuba City during the summer. All is fine during the winter months when everyone observes Mountain Standard Time but it spirals into confusion when DST kicks-in. The Navajo Nation recognizes daylight saving time (DST). A major Navajo town with more than 8,000 inhabitants, Tuba City, sits just above Moenkopi north of the intersection of Routes 160 and 264. Likewise the Hopi Nation also has an exclave, Moenkopi, within the Navajo Nation. The Navajo Nation has an exclave, Jeddito, within the primary Hopi territory. The boundaries of the Hopi Nation are enclosed entirely within the boundaries of the Navajo Nation. Thanks goodness for taxpayer supported public-domain images. ![]() I went to the National Atlas of the United States, applied a time zone layer and dropped the resulting image into graphics software to affix the proper labels. Actually, more specifically, I made a map. Mapping Itįinally I found a map that demonstrates my point. ![]() It shouldn’t be this difficult to find a good time zone map but apparently that’s the case unless one wants coverage of the entire United States. The other online mapping sites provide no help either, and the static maps are entirely hit-or-miss. Mapquest provides time zone boundaries at its higher-level views but those disappear just as I click-down to the proper level of detail. I mentioned the whole Arizona, Navajo, Hopi complexity in my response, but I’d been unable to find a decent map to get the point across. Recently he wondered whether I might have an interest in time zone boundaries.
