About this map

De-na-zin Wash and Alamo Wash define the drainage patterns of this high-desert landscape in San Juan County, New Mexico. The terrain is marked by a network of local connectors and tribal routes, such as Co Rd 7515 and Co Rd 7610, which trace the arid valleys between mesa formations. These roads provide the primary access through the Eastern Navajo Agency lands, connecting remote homesteads and grazing areas. The map reveals the intricate contouring of the New Mexico badlands, where seasonal watercourses like Willow Wash have carved through the sedimentary layers. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the modern alignment of infrastructure like Is Rt 7023, essential for navigating this expansive territory where traditional land use and contemporary transportation intersect.
