2021 Map of Baby Rocks

About this map

Baby Rocks sits at the base of the prominent Baby Rocks Mesa, serving as a focal point for this landscape in the Navajo Nation. The terrain is defined by the sweeping diagonal line of Comb Ridge, which cuts across the central portion of the quadrangle. This geologic formation separates the open Little Capitan Valley from the more intricate canyon country to the northwest. Landform names like Double Arch Canyon, Hoola Hey Arch, and Ruin Arch indicate a region shaped by erosion and perhaps early human occupation. Transportation through the area is primarily facilitated by Indian Rte 6460, which traverses the southern portion of the sheet. The map also identifies high points such as Gray Point and the natural feature known as Swinnerton Bridge near the northwestern boundary.
