2010 Map of Lupton

About this map

Lupton sits at a critical transportation juncture in the high desert, where the modern interstate corridor follows the ancient path carved by the Puerco River. This 2010 survey reveals a landscape of transition, where significant highway infrastructure like the Lupton Interchange and Window Rock Interchange meets a vast network of tribal and rural routes, including Indian Rte 12 and Jones Ranch Rd. The reliance on local water sources is evident through named features like Good Luck Well, Begay Well, and Sagebrush Spring, which serve as vital landmarks in an arid terrain. To the south, Whitewater Arroyo and Keetsell Spring mark the more remote reaches of the agency land, while the northern extent is defined by the geographic features surrounding Tse De Tha Canyon Rd. This map documents the persistent importance of water and transit in the development of the region near the Arizona-New Mexico border.
