2023 Map of Mariano Lake

About this map

The Dutton Plateau defines this northern New Mexico landscape, where high-desert mesas drop toward the Puerco River valley. The settlement of Mariano Lake serves as a local focal point near the intersection of Navajo Svc Rte 11 and the Mariano Lake Loop, surrounded by significant geological features like Fallen Timber Ridge and Crazy Woman Canyon. This 2023 edition documents the modern road network servicing traditional areas, including Old Gulf Mine Rd and the routes reaching Standing Rock and Pinedale. The presence of Carrizo Spring and Red Willow Spring highlights the critical importance of reliable water sources in this arid environment, while the extensive system of BIA and Navajo Service routes illustrates the contemporary infrastructure of the Navajo Nation.
