About this map

Big Rock Hill and Sheep Spring Hill dominate the topography of this high-desert landscape in northwestern New Mexico. At the time of this 2010 survey, the region shows a dispersed pattern of land use where mining and ranching interests coexist with traditional Navajo routes. Small-scale resource extraction is evident through the presence of the Woolly Tommy Mine, Jack Johnson Mine, and Tohatchie Mine, all situated north of the central hill.

Water management is vital in this arid environment, marked by the intermittent flow of Figuredo Wash and Dye Brush Wash. Named water sources like Coal Mine Spring and Sheep Spring provided essential hubs for local movement, while Tom Ranch represents one of the few named residential landmarks in the area. The map illustrates a complex network of transportation, ranging from primitive tracks like White Snake Hill Rd and Tohlakai Rd to more formal thoroughfares such as Indian Service Route 371.
