About this map

Chinde Wash carves through this high-desert landscape in San Juan County, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns that define the terrain southwest of Kirtland. The map reveals a sophisticated network of tribal or local roads, such as N 4111 and N 3005, which navigate the mesas and arroyos. Unlike many urbanized areas, this region maintains a character defined by its hydrographic features and land management boundaries rather than dense settlements.

Water sources like Cottonwood Spring and 13R-104 Spring highlight the critical points of interest in an arid environment. The inclusion of the Pinto Reroute suggests ongoing adjustments to the transportation infrastructure within this specific quadrant of the San Juan Basin. The survey provides a clear view of the Public Land Survey System divisions, including t27n r15w, showing how the territory is segmented for administration.
