2013 Map of Kirtland SW

About this map

Chinde Wash traverses the northern reaches of this New Mexico landscape, cutting through an arid terrain defined by the complex drainage patterns of the Shiprock Agency region. This 2013 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise view of the high desert topography, where water sources like Cottonwood Springs and various unnamed Springs dictate the local geography. The presence of Yazzie Skyline Rd in the northwestern corner suggests the intersection of traditional land use with modern access routes. This area remains largely defined by its natural hydrology and the established Public Land Survey System grids, visible through township and range boundaries like t27n r15w.
