About this map

The high desert landscape of the Eastern Navajo Agency in New Mexico is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages and livestock water management. Centered on the ephemeral Cañada Calladita, this 2017 survey reveals the reliance on earthen infrastructure in an arid environment, where features like Cholla Tank, County Line Tank, and Mud Flat Tank serve as critical points on the map. The terrain is deeply dissected by arroyos and canyons, including the prominent Arroyo Chico and Cañon Blanco.

Regional transportation is largely confined to routes such as Rincon Marquez Rd and Navajo Svc Rte 7004, which provide access through the complex topography of canyons like Cañon Ignacio Rico. The convergence of these numerous cañadas and arroyos, such as Cañada Bernardino and Arroyo Gallina, illustrates the natural drainage patterns that have shaped land use and ranching boundaries across this portion of the McKinley and Sandoval county line.
