2014 Map of Mexican Hat SE

About this map

Cane Valley and the surrounding high desert topography dominate this 2014 survey of San Juan County. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, including Halgaitoh Wash, the winding Gypsum Cr, and the southward-flowing Cane Valley Wash. Human movement through this arid terrain is traced by a network of specialized routes, notably Poncho House and the aptly named Mine Rd in the southern portion of the quadrangle. These roads suggest a landscape tied to archaeological significance and resource extraction. The eastern edge of the map features Comb Ridge Rd, running parallel to the dramatic geological uplift. Administrative designations like Bia 6440 and Co Road 423 provide a modern overlay to this ancient, water-carved environment, offering a detailed look at the infrastructure within the Navajo Nation region.
