2014 Map of Red Clay Wash

About this map

Woodspring Trading Post stands as a focal point in this high-desert landscape within the Navajo Nation, situated along the corridor of Bia-27. This 2014 survey captures a terrain defined by complex drainage systems and isolated water sources essential for local life, including Wood Spring and the descriptively named White around the Mountain Spring. The network of Bureau of Indian Affairs roads, such as Kinlichee School Rd and Fluted Rock Rd, connects the scattered community at Wood Springs to the surrounding canyons and washes. The geography is dominated by ephemeral waterways like Red Clay Wash and Lone Tule Wash, which carve through the plateau towards Kinlichee Cr. Researchers can observe the intersection of traditional land use and modern infrastructure, where established trading sites and remote springs remain vital landmarks in the modern era.
