2011 Map of Red Valley

About this map

The Red Rock Trading Post serves as a central landmark in this high-desert region of the Shiprock Agency, situated at the intersection of several tribal routes. The landscape is defined by its dramatic geological formations, including the prominent spire known as The Thumb and the broad Red Rock Valley. The drainage network is particularly intricate here, with the Standing Redrock Creek and Little Shiprock Wash carving through the arid terrain. Significant infrastructure, such as Kerr McGee Rd and Indian Rte 13, reflects the ongoing movement and connectivity within this corner of the Navajo Nation. The presence of Sand Spring and the seasonally active Red Wash highlights the critical role of water sources in this environment, where the topography transitions between named landmarks like White Rock and the red-hued geology that gives the area its name.
