2014 Map of Baby Rocks

About this map

Comb Ridge dominates the central corridor of this Navajo County landscape, creating a striking geological spine that separates Little Capitan Valley from the surrounding high desert. The 2014 survey captures a region defined by its remarkable natural formations, including Ruin Arch, Hoola Hey Arch, and the spans of Swinnerton Bridge. In the northern reaches, Double Arch Canyon reveals the intricate erosion patterns characteristic of the Colorado Plateau. Settlement is concentrated at the small community of Baby Rocks, situated near the base of the massive Baby Rocks Mesa. Hydrological features are sparse but significant, with Laguna Cr winding through the southern townships and the seasonally fluctuating Dry Lake to the north. Transportation is anchored by Us-160, providing the primary modern access through this traditional expanse of the Navajo Nation.
