About this map

Ojo Amarillo Canyon and the surrounding high desert terrain dominate this 2013 topographic survey of the Eastern Navajo Agency. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where Hugh Wash and Charlie Wash carve through the plateau toward the intermittent waters of Hugh Lake. This area of San Juan County exhibits a transition from deep canyon systems like the West Fork Gallegos Canyon to the more open West Draw.

Modern infrastructure is represented primarily by NM-371 and an extensive grid of secondary routes including Road 4090 and Co Road 7030, which provide access across the township and range lines. The map reveals the intricate intersection of natural geology and human land management in this arid region, tracing the paths of ancient washes that continue to dictate the placement of local roads and boundaries.
