2020 Map of Nose Rock

About this map

Nose Rock rises as a prominent landmark in this high-desert region of the Eastern Navajo Agency, where the landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of seasonal watercourses. The network of the Kin Klizhin Wash and Kim-me-ni-oli Wash cut through the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic character of the San Juan Basin. The map details the remote transition between the public land survey townships of t20n r12w and t19n r11w, showing the sparsely developed infrastructure characteristic of this portion of New Mexico. Local travel is tied to the South Kin Bineola Road, which provides the primary access through the arid mesas and alluvial plains. This survey offers a clear view of the land's topography before more modern development, preserving the exact placement of named geographical features essential for understanding the area's spatial history.
