About this map

The Apache Indian Res defines the landscape of this high desert terrain, where deep drainages and intermittent water sources shape the road network. In the southeast corner, the San Jose Lakes provide a rare hydrologic focal point near the junction of Indian Service Route 22. The area is characterized by significant topographical relief, including the Badland Hills and various canyons such as Menfee Canyon and Medio Canyon that feed into larger systems like Arroyo Valles.

Transportation throughout this remote portion of Sandoval County relies on a grid of administrative and local roads, including County Rd 412 and Indian Service Route 38. These routes follow the natural contours of the land, navigating around the dry beds of Largo Creek and Cañada Larga. The map illustrates the 2010 state of infrastructure within the reservation, documenting the relationship between the rugged geology of Five Lakes Canyon and the established Indian Service road system.
