2023 Map of Pretty Rock

About this map

Tsaya Canyon and the broad expanses of Split Lip Flats define this high-desert landscape in San Juan County. The drainage patterns of the San Juan Basin are clearly etched into the terrain, with the De-na-zin Wash cutting across the northern reaches and Ah-shi-sle-pah Wash winding through the south. This modern survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a network of tribal and county routes, including Is Rt 7022 and Co Rd 7650, which provide access through the open range. Water is a scarce but vital feature here, represented by the ephemeral Coal Creek and the central Black Lake. The map captures the current configuration of public and private land boundaries within townships like t23n r12w, documenting the modern infrastructure of this remote corner of New Mexico.
