About this map

Ojo Encino serves as the central hub for this high-desert plateau in the Eastern Navajo Agency, where the landscape is defined by extensive mesas and seasonal watercourses. The local geography is etched by deep drainages like Torreon Wash, Encino Wash, and the winding Penistaja Arroyo, which channel runoff between massive geological formations such as Ojo Encino Mesa and Ceja Pelon Mesa. The intersection of multiple Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Indian Service Route 471 and Indian Service Route 472, highlights the importance of the settlement's connectivity within this vast traditional landscape.

Subtle indicators of human industry and natural resources appear across the terrain, notably a Coal Prospect located near the northern reaches of Torreon Wash. To the east, Eagle Mesa rises above the plains, holding the vital Eagle Spring. This detailed survey documents the complex network of service roads and natural landmarks, such as Cejita Blanca Ridge and Little Blue Mesa, that define the spatial organization of the community at the start of the twenty-first century.
