About this map

Pescado and Lower Pescado sit at the center of a complex network of transportation routes in this high-desert landscape of western New Mexico. The geography is defined by the Rio Pescado, which flows through the Pescado Draw before entering the Pescado Canyon. Water management is a critical feature of this area, evidenced by the Pescado Reservoir Dam and the nearby Pescado Spring.

A system of Bureau of Indian Affairs roads, such as Indian Service Route 14 and Indian Service Route 17, provides the primary framework for movement across the terrain. Notable landmarks like Beacon Light Hill and Antenna Hill rise above the surrounding valleys and draws, including Kay Chee Draw and Knife Hill Canyon. This landscape highlights the intersection of traditional land use and modern infrastructure in the Eastern Navajo Agency.
