About this map

Kim-me-ni-oli Valley and the expansive drainage of Kim-me-ni-oli Wash characterize this high-desert landscape in the Eastern Navajo Agency. At the start of the 21st century, the area remains sparsely settled, defined largely by the infrastructure of ranching and land management. The I K Ranch stands as a central landmark, while vital water sources such as Milk Lake, Flat Lake, and several distinct windmills—including Windmill Number 2, Windmill Number 3, and Windmill Number 4—indicate the ongoing importance of livestock grazing in this arid region.

Transportation is primarily served by unpaved local roads and Indian Service Routes. Major paths like Indian Service Route 2141 and Indian Service Route 7101 cut across the plateau, following the natural contours of the land around Indian Creek. This topographic survey provides a detailed look at the rural network of the Eastern Navajo Agency before more modern developments altered the character of these service roads and ranching hubs.
