2010 Map of Old Pine Spring

About this map

Tocito Wash and a network of ephemeral drainages define this high-desert landscape within the Shiprock Agency. The area is characterized by scattered springs and strategic water sources such as Old Pine Spring and Old Sawmill Spring, which served as vital points for local inhabitants and travelers in this arid region of New Mexico. The geography is marked by significant topographical shifts, including the sharp descent into Porcupine Canyon in the northeast and the broad paths of To-nil-choni Wash and To-bil-hask-idi Wash. Transportation and access are facilitated by a series of Indian Service roads, including Indian Service Route 30 and Indian Service Route 342, which stitch together the remote reaches of the territory. The presence of Dodge Brothers in the southeast suggests a localized point of activity or habitation amidst the larger system of washes and canyons.
