2010 Map of Hosta Butte

About this map

Hosta Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this section of the Eastern Navajo Agency during the first decade of the 21st century. The landscape is defined by the high-elevation drainage of the Puerco River and the significant geographic passage at Satan Pass. This map illustrates a complex network of Bureau of Indian Affairs roads, including Navajo Service Route 49 and various Indian Service Routes that connect isolated points of interest. Notable industrial activity is centered at the Black Jack Mine Number One, while water management is evidenced by the Childers Smith Reservoir Dam near the settlement of Hall. The distribution of Smith Lake and House Lake against the arid canyon terrain of Satan Pass Canyon highlights the critical role of water resources in this high-desert environment.
