2020 Map of Heart Rock

About this map

Chaco Culture National Historical Park anchors the western edge of this landscape, preserving a portion of the high desert terrain in the Eastern Navajo Agency. The map reveals a network of service and county roads that navigate the complex topography, where the namesake Heart Rock and the deep incision of Satan Pass Canyon define the local relief. These routes, including Navajo Svc Rte 9 and Borrego Pass Rd, suggest a rural connectivity tied to the land's natural contours and historical pathways. The presence of numerous township and range lines across the high-elevation terrain reflects the formal surveying of this region, providing a clear view of the modern boundaries within the Navajo Nation as they existed in the early twenty-first century. This layout is particularly useful for understanding the proximity of natural landmarks like Heart Butte Rd to the protected historical park area.
