2010 Map of Hunter Wash

About this map

Chaco River and De-na-zin Wash converge in this arid landscape, carving intricate drainage patterns across the high desert. The terrain is defined by the Chaco Plateau to the north, a region characterized by sparse vegetation and significant elevation changes marked by the Indian Creek drainage system. A network of essential transit corridors provides the primary infrastructure for the area, including the Indian Service Rte and Indian Service Route 7080. These routes reflect the modern management of Navajo Nation lands, connecting remote points across the San Juan Basin. The absence of concentrated settlements highlights the sprawling, rural nature of the Shiprock Agency at the beginning of the twenty-first century, where the focus remains on the natural topography and the historical importance of the river systems.
