About this map

The Puerco River cuts through this high desert landscape of eastern Arizona, where the northeastern boundary of the Petrified Forest National Park meets the open range. The settlement of Navajo serves as a local hub near the Navajo Cem, while the small community of Pinta sits further west along the riverbanks. The influence of the interstate and rail corridor is evident, marked by the Crazy Creek Bridge crossing over Crazy Cr.

Surface water is a defining resource for this arid region, as seen in the distribution of livestock watering points like Swamp Tank, East Tank, and the Cottonwood Seep. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the complex terrain of Saddle Horse Draw. This document traces the modern road network, including Wagon Trail Dr and Hoganwell Blvd, overlaid on the historic section lines of the public land survey system.
