About this map

The Chuska Mountains rise along the Arizona and New Mexico border, defining a high-desert landscape centered on the Navajo Nation. This 2021 survey illustrates the rural infrastructure of Red Rock and Beclabito, where life revolves around traditional routes and water sources. A network of Bureau of Indian Affairs roads, such as Indian Rte 13 and Indian Rte 33, connects these communities across the arid flats of Red Rock Valley.

Hydrological features are sparse but essential, including Standing Redrock Cr, Little Shiprock Wash, and Sand Spring. Geological landmarks like The Thumb and White Rock provide distinct orientation points in an area largely characterized by seasonal washes like Red Wash and Salt Wash. For those researching local heritage, the inclusion of the Beclabito Cem offers a specific point of reference within the settlement of Beclabito.
