About this map

Naschitti serves as the primary hub of activity in this high-desert region of New Mexico, situated where the high country begins to break into complex drainage systems. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral flow of Naschitti Wash and the winding course of Tseunazti Cr, which together shape the local topography. The map reveals a specialized transportation network consisting of several Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, such as Indian Svc Rte 69 and Indian Svc Rte 692, which connect the scattered residences and pastoral lands of the Shiprock Agency.

Industrial and utility developments are evident through the presence of Pipe Ln and Electric Pole Rd, marking the modernization of the tribal lands. The transition between San Juan Co and McKinley Co occurs along the southern margin, reflecting the administrative boundaries that govern this portion of the Navajo Nation. This 2020 survey documents the intersection of traditional land use and contemporary infrastructure in a region defined by its watercourses and service routes.
