The Chaco River and its seasonal drainages define the landscape of this northwest New Mexico region. This contemporary survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the intricate arroyo systems that feed into the river basin, including the Pinabete Arroyo in the northeast and Sanostee Wash further west. These watercourses are the primary geographical markers in an arid environment shaped by deep alluvial cuts and subtle elevation shifts across the San Juan County terrain.
