About this map

Chilchinbito serves as a central hub in this high-desert landscape, anchored by the Chilchinbito Trading Post and an intricate network of tribal routes including Indian Rte 59. The terrain is defined by a system of ephemeral watercourses such as Chilchinbito Wash, Aasayii Wash, and Cane Wash that carve through the mesa country.

Vital water sources are scattered across the arid environment, marked by Sweetwater Spring, Chilchinbito Spring, and the White Rock Mesa Windmill. The map details geological landmarks like Small White Mesa and Lone Sharp Hill, alongside the deep incisions of Chilchinbito Canyon. This 2011 survey documents a landscape where traditional commerce and natural landforms intersect with modern infrastructure.
