Milky Wash defines the drainage pattern of this high-desert landscape in Apache County, where water sources like Hogan Well were vital markers in an arid terrain. The map captures a sparsely settled portion of the Fort Defiance Agency area, centered on the Navajo Number Five Airport. The road network is primarily composed of unpaved routes such as Cherrys Rd, Witch Well Rd, and Rte 2007, which cross the wide open spaces between seasonal watercourses. This 2011 survey documents the remote infrastructure of the region, illustrating how modern aviation and basic road systems intersect with traditional landmarks and natural features in this corner of the Navajo Nation.
