2010 Map of Chafin Well

About this map

Chafin Well and CH Begaye Well serve as vital water sources in this arid landscape along the Arizona-New Mexico border. The map illustrates a network of ephemeral watercourses including Whitewater Arroyo and Hardscrabble Wash, which define the drainage patterns of the high desert terrain. Transportation across the region is primarily facilitated by Indian Service Route 3 and Jones Ranch Rd, revealing a sparse infrastructure focused on ranching and agency access. The presence of Good Luck Spring in the northern reaches further highlights the critical importance of isolated water points in supporting livestock and local habitation in the Fort Defiance Agency region during the early 21st century.
