2020 Map of Carson Trading Post

About this map

Carson Trading Post serves as a primary landmark in this corner of San Juan County, situated near the intersection of several local routes in a landscape defined by seasonal drainages. The area is dominated by the intricate network of the West Fork Gallegos Canyon and the Hunter Wash, which carve through the high desert terrain. This 2020 survey illustrates the modern road infrastructure necessary for navigating the vast spaces of the Eastern Navajo Agency, featuring routes like Indian Svc Rte 5 and Indian Svc Rte 7024. The map provides a clear view of the Public Land Survey System grid, including townships t26n r12w and t26n r11w, reflecting the structured management of this arid region. The proximity of the trading post to the canyon systems highlights the historical and contemporary importance of these central hubs for the local community.
