2017 Map of Burnham Trading Post

About this map

Burnham Trading Post serves as a primary geographic anchor in this section of the Shiprock Agency, where the landscape is defined by a network of seasonal drainage channels. The map documents the arid terrain as it appeared in recent years, illustrating how modern transportation corridors like Indian Svc Rte 5080 and Rte 7295 follow the natural contours of the land. The hydrologic system is marked by significant ephemeral features, notably Brimhall Wash in the north, Teec-ni-di-tso Wash across the center, and Hunter Wash in the south. These washes reveal the historical and environmental significance of water movement through the San Juan Basin. The detailed township and range grid, including t24n r15w, provides a precise framework for researchers tracking land use and infrastructure developments within the Navajo Nation.
