2017 Map of Hunter Wash

About this map

Chaco River and its seasonal tributaries define this corner of San Juan County, illustrating the arid drainage patterns of the high desert plateau. This 2017 survey shows the confluence of De-na-zin Wash and Hunter Wash as they carve through the sandstone-rich terrain of northwestern New Mexico. The landscape is marked by a network of service roads and county routes, including Co Rd 8850 and Indian Svc Rte 7060, which provide access through the vast public and tribal lands. While devoid of major settlements, the map provides precise topographic detail of the eroded canyons and intermittent waterways like Indian Cr, reflecting the region's sparse human footprint and dependence on the natural watercourses that have shaped its geography over millennia.
