2010 Map of Crystal

About this map

Crystal serves as the central hub of this high-desert landscape in the Shiprock Agency region during the early 21st century. The settlement sits at a crossroads of the extensive BIA road network, including Indian Service Route 321 and Isr 32a. The hydrology of the area is defined by Crystal Creek, which flows westward across the quadrangle, while several named water bodies like Todacheene Lake and Berland Lake dot the higher elevations to the north. The terrain transitions from the distinct Red Valley in the west toward the Black Salt Valley in the south, illustrating the drainage patterns of Bowl Canyon Creek. This map documents a critical era of land management, showing the intersection of traditional paths and modern infrastructure like Logging Road 7190, reflecting the region's ongoing relationship with its natural resources.
