2014 Map of Pine Springs

About this map

Pine Springs sits as the central point of activity within this high-elevation terrain of the Defiance Plateau. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Oak Ridge Wash, which cuts through the arid geography from north to south. A network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Bia-2014 and Bia-9355, provides the primary infrastructure for this remote part of the Navajo Nation. The map illustrates a contemporary view of tribal land management and transportation, where traditional named features like Banana Wash Rd and Oak Ridge Rd intersect with established township and range boundaries. This survey documents the persistent presence of the settlement at Pine Springs amidst the vast, open spaces of the plateau.
