2020 Map of Crow Mesa West

About this map

Crow Mesa dominates the northern landscape of this region in the Eastern Navajo Agency, standing as a prominent landform above the branching drainages of the San Juan County high desert. The terrain is defined by a complex network of seasonal watercourses, most notably Blanco Wash and Kimbeto Wash, which have carved significant features like Crow Canyon and Selph Canyon into the plateau. The sparse infrastructure consists primarily of local service routes such as Indian Svc Rte 459 and Co RD 7775, reflecting the rural and distributed nature of the territory. At the heart of the quadrangle lies Crow Lake, a focal point in a landscape otherwise marked by the deep incisions of Adams Canyon and various unnamed ridges. This 2020 survey records the contemporary road network and hydrography within the traditional Navajo Agency boundaries, illustrating the enduring relationship between seasonal water flow and regional travel.
