2020 Map of Moses Rock

About this map

Chinle Creek meanders through the heart of this landscape, carving a winding path through the high desert of the Shiprock Agency region. The terrain is defined by prominent geographical landmarks like Moses Rock and the extensive Nokaito Bench, reflecting the stark geologic character of San Juan County. For researchers and historians, the presence of Hosteen Tso Canyon and Garnet Ridge offers specific points of interest within the broader network of county and bureau roads. Local transit is facilitated by a grid of routes such as RD 4021 and the uniquely named C R 491 - Poncho House, which points toward regional archaeological significance. This 2020 survey documents the contemporary state of the land, detailing the intersections of natural drainage systems and modern access roads.
