2020 Map of Counselor

About this map

Counselor serves as a focal point in this high-desert landscape, situated along the county line where Rio Arriba Co meets Sandoval Co. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including the prominent Cañon Largo in the northeast and the winding paths of Escrito Canyon, Haynes Canyon, and Gallo Canyon. To the south, the flat-topped Sisnathyel Mesa overlooks Venado Canyon and the headwaters of Cañada Alemita. This 2020 survey illustrates the modern road network essential for navigating this expansive area, highlighting routes such as Keetso Rd, Indian Svc Rte 46, and Jicarilla Rd. The geography reflects a sparsely populated region of the Eastern Navajo Agency, where the land's natural contours and seasonal watercourses dictate the placement of transportation corridors and small-scale settlement patterns.
