About this map

Nageezi sits at the southwestern edge of this high-desert landscape, serving as a focal point for settlement near the San Juan and Rio Arriba county line. The terrain is defined by the massive Crow Mesa to the north and the intricate drainage networks of Blanco Wash and Kimbeto Wash that carve through the arid plateaus. This 2013 survey illustrates the rugged topography of the Eastern Navajo Agency, where deep incisions like Selph Canyon and Adams Canyon break the horizontal expanse of the mesas.

Local navigation and water access are highlighted by features such as Crow Lake and the various county roads, including CO Road 7775 and Road 7997, which connect the isolated canyons. The presence of a Po in Nageezi underscores its role as a regional hub for the surrounding ranching or tribal lands, while the vast township and range grids of T24N and T25N provide the administrative framework for this complex corner of New Mexico.
