2018 Map of Lukachukai

About this map

Lukachukai sits at the western base of the high-altitude divide where the Chuska Mountains and Lukachukai Mountains meet. This 2018 survey detail shows a network of tribal and local roads, including Indian Rte 13 and BIA Rd N133, which navigate the complex drainage systems of the high desert. To the east, the terrain rises sharply toward Buffalo Pass, a significant mountain crossing near the continental divide. The landscape is defined by its water sources, from high mountain catchments like Big Lake and Aspen Spring to the seasonal courses of Lizard Wash and Greasewood Wash. These features highlight the traditional and modern importance of water management and transit routes in the Shiprock Agency region of the Navajo Nation.
