2011 Map of Many Farms SW

About this map

Many Farms and the smaller settlement of Maito define the human geography of this high-desert landscape within the Navajo Nation. The map illustrates a network of vital water sources in an arid climate, specifically the cluster of Alamo Spring, Sunrise Spring, Scott Spring, and Coyote Springs. These reliable watering points and drainage features like Hipbone Wash dictate the layout of traditional routes and modern roads, including Indian Rte 59 and Indian Rte 8083. A notable natural landmark, Window Rock, stands as a significant terrain feature in the central portion of the quadrangle. The sparse distribution of habitation around Many Farms reflects a communal reliance on both modern infrastructure and the geographic permanence of natural springs.
