2017 Map of East of Grey Hill Spring

About this map

The county line between San Juan Co and McKinley Co bisects this high-desert landscape in northwestern New Mexico. This 2017 survey details a remote expanse of the Colorado Plateau, defined by the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid across townships such as T21n R15w and T22n R15w. The terrain is characterized by intricate drainage patterns and arroyos that have carved through the sandstone and shale layers of the San Juan Basin. While devoid of major settlements or named structures on this specific quadrangle, the map provides a precise topographic record of the landforms and elevations east of the Chuska Mountains. Researchers can use this data to study the physical geography and land management boundaries in this corner of the state, where the open country is segmented only by these administrative lines.
