2018 Map of Hogansaani Spring

About this map

Chinle Valley defines the southern portion of this landscape, where the terrain transitions into a complex network of arid washes and seasonal drainages. Hogansaani Spring serves as a critical water source in the northeast, while the north-flowing Walker Cr provides a primary hydrological corridor. This 2018 survey reveals a modern transportation network composed largely of tribal and county routes, including Indian Rte 35 and Indian Rte 5040, which facilitate movement across the Shiprock Agency region. The road patterns, such as the winding path of Co Rd 484, follow the natural contours of the land, illustrating how access is maintained through the diverse elevations and geological structures of Apache County. This map documents a quiet, low-density settlement pattern centered on essential water points and established regional road corridors.
