2021 Map of Church Rock

About this map

Church Rock stands as a prominent landmark in the high desert of the Navajo County region, anchoring a landscape defined by dramatic sandstone formations and high plateaus. This 2021 survey documents the remote terrain of the Navajo Nation, where travel is dictated by a network of regional corridors including Indian Rte 18, Indian Rte 59, and Indian Rte 57. The map illustrates a world of vast open spaces between significant elevations like Baby Rocks Mesa and the lower stretches of Church Rock Valley. These named topographical features, such as Facing Red Points and Small White Mesa Flat, represent a geography where every rise and fall in the land has a distinct identity in an area otherwise characterized by its isolation and sparse infrastructure.
