2020 Map of Jones Ranch School

About this map

Chi Chil Tah sits at the southern edge of this McKinley County landscape, where the high desert terrain is deeply incised by a series of dramatic drainages. The northern half of the survey is defined by the carved paths of Eagles Nest Canyon, Manuelito Canyon, and Window Rock Canyon, reflecting the intricate erosion patterns of the Eastern Navajo Agency. A network of local routes like Jones Ranch Rd and Navajo BIA Road 7041 connects these disparate landforms, tracing the easier paths across the high ground between the arroyos. In the southeast, Whitewater Arroyo provides the primary drainage outlet for the surrounding hills. This 2020 map documents the contemporary configuration of roads and water sources such as Badger Spring, showing how modern infrastructure and named landmarks like Big House Canyon continue to define this traditional landscape.
