Chaco River and its intricate network of desert drainages define this San Juan County landscape in northwestern New Mexico. This 2017 survey details a terrain of complex hydrography, where the main river channel is fed by numerous seasonal systems including Brimhall Wash, Captain Tom Wash, and the notably named Teee-ni-di-tso Wash. The drainage pattern across Arroyo Medio and Hunter Wash reveals the natural path of water through this arid basin, a critical factor in the local ecology and traditional land use within the Shiprock Agency region.
