About this map

Chinle Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in northern Arizona, where the sprawling Chinle Wash and its seasonal tributaries define the geography. The terrain is marked by significant geological formations, most notably the towering Round Rock and its smaller counterpart, Little Round Rock, which stand as prominent landmarks in the southeastern section. Further north, the Rock Window and the expansive Carson Mesa provide dramatic vertical relief against the valley floor.

Transportation through this part of the Shiprock Agency is anchored by Us-191, which bisects the quadrangle as it follows the natural corridor of the valley. Local access is provided by a network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes and county roads, such as Bia-8008 and CO Road C495. Drainage patterns are clearly mapped through ephemeral waterways like Hasbidito Cr and Agua Sal Wash, reflecting the arid climate and the way water has sculpted this territory over time.
