2010 Map of Fire Rock Well

About this map

Escavada Wash and Gallo Wash traverse a high-desert landscape in the Eastern Navajo Agency, defining the drainage patterns of this arid New Mexico region. The terrain is marked by the winding course of Cañada Alemita, which meanders through the southeast, cutting through a series of subtle topographic rises. A sparse network of unpaved tracks, including County Rd-7910 and Road 7970, provides the only modern infrastructure through the territory. This 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a quiet corner of the state where water resources like Dike Pit Tank are critical markers on the land. The presence of these named washes and isolated water tanks highlights the essential relationship between hydrology and land use in this open rangeland environment.
