2013 Map of Hunter Wash

About this map

The Chaco River meanders broadly across this high desert landscape, serving as the central drainage for a network of intermittent watercourses including Hunter Wash and De-na-zin Wash. This arid region of the Chaco Plateau is defined by its dramatic topographic relief and a sparse infrastructure tailored to the geography of the Shiprock Agency. The transport network is comprised of traditional routes like the Indian Service Rte and Road 7295, alongside modern thoroughfares like Nm-371, reflecting the long-standing importance of these corridors in New Mexico's San Juan County. Smaller drainages such as Indian Cr carve into the plateau, illustrating the complex erosional patterns that characterize this segment of the Four Corners region.
