2021 Map of Lupton

About this map

Lupton sits at the intersection of a modern transportation corridor and ancient pathways along the Puerco River in this high-desert landscape of Arizona and New Mexico. The terrain is marked by a complex network of local routes, including Tse De Tha Canyon Rd and Jones Ranch Rd, which weave through the canyons and mesas. Water sources remain critical landmarks in this environment, as evidenced by the labeling of Sagebrush Spring, Slims Spring, and Keetseli Spring. These springs, alongside features like Wild Goat Canyon, define the rural character of the borderlands where Apache County meets McKinley County. The map details the transition from the concentrated settlement at Lupton out to the broader reaches of the Navajo Nation, where named roads like Indian Rte 12 and Allentown Rd facilitate travel across the varying elevations and dry washes.
