2010 Map of Hugh Lake

About this map

Hugh Lake sits as a central landmark in this high-desert landscape of the Eastern Navajo Agency, where seasonal watercourses define the layout of the land. The drainage system is dominated by the intricate branching of Gallegos Canyon and the West Fork Gallegos Canyon to the east, while Charlie Wash and Hugh Wash converge toward the center of the sheet. The network of local infrastructure is represented by roads such as Road 7100 and County Rd 7030, reflecting the rural transportation grid of San Juan County. Smaller features like Charlie Well suggest the vital importance of water management in this arid environment. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain's transition from the broad West Draw to the sharper incisions of Ojo Amarillo Canyon in the northwest corner, documenting the subtle elevations and drainage patterns of the region at the start of the 21st century.
