Indian Village and the high desert plateaus of San Juan County are central to this 2014 survey. The landscape is defined by the expansive Manti-Lasal National Forest, where deep incisions like Allen Canyon and Posey Canyon cut through the high country. Small, named settlements such as Dwarf and Cream Pots occupy the lower benches, though the terrain is dominated by significant relief features including Elk Mountain and Milk Ranch Point. Drainage systems like Cottonwood Wash and Whiskers Draw trace the path of seasonal water through the canyonlands. The map provides a contemporary record of forest boundaries and access via S Cottonwood Rd, serving as a detailed guide for those navigating the transition from high forest to the stark beauty of Dry Wash.
