About this map

The Chaco River cuts a prominent path through this high-desert landscape of the Navajo Nation, as detailed in this 2017 U.S. Geological Survey study. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses, including the north-flowing Sanostee Wash and the meandering Pinabete Arroyo, which illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the Shiprock Agency region.

Logistical access across the varied topography is provided by a network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, such as Indian Svc Rte 5018 and Indian Svc Rte 5092. To the south, Peña Blanca Arroyo adds to the intricate hydrology of the area. This topographic survey captures the sparse but vital transportation infrastructure connecting remote reaches of San Juan County, providing a precise look at the land's contours and dry-wash features.
