About this map

Black Creek Valley serves as the central geographic axis for this portion of the Fort Defiance Agency, where the seasonal flow of Black Creek has long dictated the patterns of movement and habitation. The settlement at Hunters Point remains a focal point for the surrounding high desert, anchored by the Hunters Point Trading Post and the nearby Hunters Point Campground.

Water security in this arid landscape is evidenced by a network of family-named water sources and infrastructure, such as John Nez Well, Billie Notahs Well, and Tabaha Well. Transportation routes like Indian Rte 12 and Indian Rte 123 thread through the terrain, connecting dispersed points of interest from Tse Notahs Pond to the lower reaches of Peterson Well. The presence of these named wells and springs highlights the enduring relationship between the local community and the scarce water resources of the region.
