2020 Map of Pinehaven

About this map

Pinehaven sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in McKinley County, where the transition from open range to the Cibola National Forest is defined by a network of seasonal drainages and canyons. The settlement pattern is largely influenced by the presence of water management features such as Vanderwagen Reservoir Number One and Vanderwagen Reservoir Number Two, alongside Pinos Lake and the Navajo Stock Tank. These landmarks highlight the critical role of water capture in the arid Eastern Navajo Agency. Deep incisions in the earth like Manuelito Canyon and Coal Mine Canyon reveal the complex topography of the region, while the Pinehaven Cem serves as a local historical waypoint for those tracing family roots in the area. A sophisticated network of service roads, including Indian Svc Rte 26 and Bread Springs Rd, connects these remote reaches, reflecting the modern infrastructure supporting tribal and forest lands.
