About this map

The San Juan River flows through the northeastern corner of this San Juan County landscape, bordering the settlement of Cudei. To the south, the terrain is defined by the high ground of the Gray Hills and a complex drainage system that includes Shiprock Wash, Lichii Wash, and Little Shiprock Wash. This topography illustrates the arid environment of the Shiprock Agency region, where seasonal watercourses like Malpais Arroyo carve through the basin.

Transportation in the area is largely facilitated by service roads such as Indian Svc Rte 57 and Indian Svc Rte 571, which connect the small community of Rattlesnake to the broader corridor. Industrial infrastructure is evidenced by the presence of Pipeline Rd, indicating the intersection of energy transport with the traditional land divisions of the Public Land Survey System, including T30N R19W and T31N R18W.
