2018 Map of Rock Point

About this map

Rock Point serves as the primary settlement hub in this northeastern Arizona landscape, situated where the high desert terrain of Carson Mesa meets the drainage of Chinle Wash. The geography is defined by significant elevation changes, from the prominent heights of Antelope Ridge and Plane Rock to the lower elevations of the Chinle Valley and Dibe Chaa Valley. Water sources are sparse but critical in this arid environment, marked specifically by Setsiltso Springs. A network of local infrastructure connects these points, including Indian Rte 8090 and Indian Rte 35. The map illustrates a region where life is organized around traditional land divisions and natural landmarks, with transportation routes like Co Rd 486 and Co Rd 491 following the natural contours of the mesas and valleys.
