About this map

Pretty Rock and its surrounding desert plateaus characterize this high-elevation landscape in New Mexico. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages, including De-na-zin Wash in the north and the extensive Ah-shi-sle-pah Wash to the south, which showcase the erosion patterns of the San Juan Basin. The high, level ground of Split Lip Flats contrasts with the deeply carved Tsaya Canyon, illustrating the varied topography that collectors and geologists study in this region.

Transportation through this arid reach is limited to a network of established routes such as Co Rd 7650 and Echarlie Rd, which connect isolated water features like Black Lake to the broader county infrastructure. These roads follow the natural contours of the land, avoiding the intermittent flows of Coal Cr while providing access to the open range and traditional grazing lands within the Eastern Navajo Agency.
