2020 Map of Laguna Castillo

About this map

Laguna Castillo sits as a central water feature in this high-desert expanse of McKinley County, within the Eastern Navajo Agency. The terrain is defined by a series of mesas and drainages, where the sparse network of thoroughfares like Indian Svc Rte 481 and Heartbutte Rd provides the primary access through the undulating landscape. The northern section of the map reveals a complex topography of ridges and draws, while the southern reaches are crossed by White Ridge Rd near the borders of various township divisions. This map illustrates the intersection of traditional land use and modern infrastructure in a region where water sources and topographic high points have historically guided movement and settlement patterns.
