2010 Map of Chi Chil Tah

About this map

Chi Chil Tah is situated in a high-desert landscape defined by drainage systems and essential water sources, reflecting the rural infrastructure of the Eastern Navajo Agency in the early 21st century. The geography is anchored by the Whitewater Arroyo in the northwest and Bosson Wash to the south, with the prominent Zuni Buttes rising near the southern boundary. These natural landmarks are connected by a network of specialized roads, including Indian Service Route 7010 and Oak Mesa Rd, which facilitate movement across this arid terrain. A notable point of human activity in the center of the sheet is Stinkwater Well, a named water source that suggests the critical importance of groundwater management in this part of New Mexico. The map illustrates how transportation routes like Indian Service Route 11 follow the natural contours of the washes and arroyos, maintaining the connectivity of this community.
