About this map

The community of Beclabito sits at a geographic crossroads where the desert floor meets the high desert plateaus of the Navajo Nation. This area is defined by a series of significant drainages and canyons, most notably Beclabito Wash and Cottonwood Canyon, which carve through the high ground of Black Rock Ridge. The map documents the convergence of the Apache and San Juan county lines with the Arizona-New Mexico state border, a location marked by the prominent Black Rock Point.

Water sources are vital markers in this arid landscape, with the map identifying Beclabito Spring and Black Rock Canyon Spring near the settlement. Transportation is facilitated by Us-64 E and BIA Road 2078, illustrating the modern infrastructure overlaid on a terrain characterized by deep washes like Teec Nos Pos Wash and First Gray Wash. Points of interest such as Twin Falls and Rocky Canyon provide context for the natural topography of the Shiprock Agency region.
