2010 Map of Horse Mesa

About this map

Horse Mesa and the wide drainage of Redrock Valley dominate this landscape in the Shiprock Agency region. The settlement of Horse Mesa sits at the convergence of several high-desert waterways, including Blackrock Wash and Horse Mesa Creek. Further east, the small settlement of Canyon View overlooks a network of seasonal streams such as Oak Spring Wash and Red Wash. The map documents a sparse but critical infrastructure of unpaved transit routes, notably Indian Rte-83 and Indian Rte-5025, which connect these isolated points across the arid terrain. This 2010 survey illustrates the modern layout of these traditional lands, tracing how natural features like Pine Wash and Cove Wash continue to dictate the placement of roads and residences.
