2017 Map of Fire Rock Well

About this map

Fire Rock Well sits in the high desert landscape of the Eastern Navajo Agency, positioned near the intersecting boundaries of San Juan, McKinley, and Sandoval counties. This corner of New Mexico is defined by a network of ephemeral drainage systems including Gallo Wash and the deeply etched Cañada Alemita, which channel seasonal water through the arid terrain. The map captures a transition in land management and infrastructure, where remote county routes like Co RD 7900 provide the primary access to isolated landmarks and livestock resources like the Dike Pit Tank. These features represent the critical water-security infrastructure necessary for life and ranching in this part of the San Juan Basin. The landscape remains largely open, marked primarily by these vital water points and the administrative grid of the Public Land Survey System.
