Chaco Culture National Historical Park anchors the eastern portion of this high-desert landscape in New Mexico. The terrain is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages, including the Chaco River, Kin Klizhin Wash, and Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah Wash. These arroyos carve through the dry earth near West Mesa, illustrating the geographic context of a region famous for its ancient Puebloan archaeological sites. The map documents the intersection of modern county infrastructure, such as Cty 7650 and Co Rd 7748, with the ancestral lands of the Navajo Agency. The boundary line between San Juan and McKinley Counties runs across the southern section, marking a modern political division across a landscape of significant cultural and geological antiquity.
