2010 Map of Rocky Point

About this map

Rocky Point serves as the focal point for this 2010 topographic survey of the Shiprock Agency region, where the high desert is defined by a network of seasonal drainages and prominent geological features. The land is characterized by distinctive landforms such as Rock Pile Mesa, Bruised Ridge, and Black Rock Point, which rise above the expansive White Flat. Transport through this arid landscape relies on established routes including Indian Service Route 1C and BIA Route 5113, illustrating the modern infrastructure within the Navajo Nation. Hydrology is dominated by significant washes like Beclabito Wash and Red Wash, alongside more localized features such as First Gray Wash and Second Gray Wash. These corridors carve through the terrain, creating named depressions like Rocky Canyon, Last Canyon, and Cottonwood Canyon, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns of northwestern New Mexico.
