2011 Map of Mexican Hat SW

About this map

Halchita stands as the primary settlement on this portion of the Colorado Plateau, situated near the Mexican Post Office at the northern edge of the map. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of ephemeral drainages and desert washes, including the prominent Halgaitoh Wash, Eagle Rock Wash, and Gypsum Creek. These waterways dictate the movement of roads such as Indian Rte 6480 and Cane Valley Wash Rd as they navigate the arid terrain. The presence of the A Z Minerals Corporation Airport suggests the historical importance of resource extraction and corporate infrastructure in this remote corner of San Juan County. Smaller landmarks like Halgaitoh Spring and Stagecoach Wash provide essential points of orientation for those tracing the history of land use and navigation across this high desert region in the early 21st century.
