2020 Map of East of Great Bend

About this map

Chaco River meanders across this San Juan County landscape, providing the primary hydrological corridor through the arid New Mexico high desert. The 2020 topography illustrates a complex drainage system where the river bed cuts through significant elevation changes, ranging from 5,500 to over 5,900 feet. This specific reach of the river represents a critical geographical boundary for the Shiprock Agency, defined by the systematic grid of the Public Land Survey System. The map highlights the intersection of several townships, including t23n r15w and t22n r15w, which frame the central portion of the river valley and its surrounding plateau terrain.
