2013 Map of Canal Creek

About this map

The San Juan River flows across the southern portion of this high-desert landscape on the border of Colorado and New Mexico. The terrain is defined by dry drainages and prominent geological markers like Standing Rock and Volcano Peak in the eastern hills. This area, largely within the Shiprock Agency, shows a infrastructure of desert access roads including Pipe Line Rd and several numbered routes such as N 534 and N 5030. Seasonal watercourses like Shiprock Wash and Malpais Arroyo reveal the natural drainage patterns that lead toward the river valley, providing a clear picture of the land's hydrology and land management boundaries at the start of the 21st century.
