About this map

First Mesa anchors the northern reaches of this landscape, overlooking the broad expanse of Burnt Corn Valley. This 2011 survey illustrates a region defined by its hydrography and topography, where the seasonal drainage of Burnt Corn Wash carves through the high desert. The map provides clear detail of the road network essential to the Chinle Agency, specifically Indian Rte-60, Indian Rte-61, and Indian Rte-65, which traverse the mesas and plateaus.

Water sources are scarce but significant, notably Echo Spring located within the southern drainage systems. The terrain is deeply textured by landforms such as Echo Canyon and Cienega Canyon in the south, and the prominent Gum Point further north. This document offers a precise view of the tribal road systems and natural landmarks before more recent developments changed the accessibility of these remote canyonlands.
