2023 Map of Beclabito

About this map

The Beclabito settlement sits on the eastern edge of this landscape, positioned where the high desert floor meets the rising slopes of the Carrizo Mountains. This modern topographic survey highlights a transition from the rugged drainage systems of the Blackrock Wash and Cottonwood Wash to the prominent geological features of the mountain foothills. Local history and genealogy interest is anchored by the Beclabito Cem and nearby water sources like Beclabito Spring and Black Rock Canyon Spring, which have likely supported inhabitants in this arid environment for generations. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably at Black Rock Point and along the Black Rock Ridge, while the northwestern corner is marked by Twin Falls. Transportation routes, including Indian Rte 5111 and 64, connect the area across the border between Apache and San Juan counties, bridging the line between Arizona and New Mexico.
