2011 Map of Lamb Well

About this map

Keams Canyon and the high-desert plateau of the Fort Defiance Agency are the focal points of this 2011 survey. The landscape is defined by its isolation and the critical importance of water resources in an arid environment, anchored by the namesake Lamb Well. A network of Bureau of Indian Affairs roads, including Indian Rte-65 and Indian Rte-9110, crisscrosses the terrain, tracing the routes between remote outposts and topographical landmarks. The map illustrates the contemporary infrastructure of the region, where secondary routes like Indian Rte-9101 and Indian Rte-9103 provide access across the mesa-and-canyon country. This record serves as a vital tool for understanding the modern distribution of resources and transit across this portion of the Arizona landscape.
