2014 Map of Hunters Point

About this map

Black Creek flows through the central corridor of this high-desert landscape on the Arizona-New Mexico border, anchoring the community of Black Creek Valley. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably around the landmark Hunters Point, where springs and ponds such as Hunters Point Spring and Tse Notahs Pond provide essential water sources in an otherwise arid environment. This 2014 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a modern infrastructure of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Bia-12 and Bia-123, which connect the scattered homesteads and settlements of the Fort Defiance Agency. A localized industrial footprint is evident near the southern hills at the Gravel Pit, while the northern reaches are accessed via El Paso Station Rd and Logan Rd, reflecting the long-standing transportation patterns of Apache and McKinley counties.
