2017 Map of Oljato

About this map

Oljato sits at a geographic crossroads in the high desert of San Juan County, where tribal roads and local routes like Oljato Rd and Chicago Rd converge near the Oljato-Monument Valley border. The landscape is defined by massive sandstone formations and expansive tablelands, including the broad reaches of Hoskinnini Mesa and Holiday Mesa. Water sources are critical but sparse, marked by the winding paths of Oljato Wash and the presence of Oljato Spring near the base of the mesas. Distinctive landmarks such as Train Rock, Organ Rock, and Anvil Rock serve as natural navigation points across the terrain. The presence of routes like Upper Gray Mesa Rd and Douglas Mesa Rd highlights the local dependence on a network of unpaved roads to navigate between these prominent geological features and the scattered canyon systems like Horse Trail Canyon.
