2010 Map of Newcomb NE

About this map

The Chaco River forms the primary drainage system for this high-desert landscape, joined by seasonal watercourses like Sanostee Wash and Pinabete Arroyo. This 2010 survey shows a sparse, arid environment defined by its hydrology and a network of Bureau of Indian Affairs managed roads. The presence of Indian Service Route 5018, Indian Service Route 5082, and Indian Service Route 5092 reveals the vital transportation infrastructure connecting this portion of the Shiprock Agency. While the terrain is dominated by wide washes such as Peña Blanca Arroyo, the road system provides a record of human passage through a landscape that remains largely open and undeveloped.
