2013 Map of Rocky Point

About this map

The settlement of Beclabito serves as the focal point of this high-desert landscape in the Shiprock Agency region. The terrain is defined by a series of dramatic geographic features, from the heights of Rock Pile Mesa and Bruised Ridge down to the deep incisions of Cottonwood Canyon and Last Canyon. Hydrology in this arid environment is represented by a network of seasonal drainages, most notably Red Wash and the winding Beclabito Wash, which cut through the sandy expanses of White Flat. Evidence of regional infrastructure is visible through the routes of BIA Road 5038 and BIA Route 5113, which connect the scattered homesteads and traditional grazing lands. Natural landmarks like Rocky Point and Black Rock Point provide distinct navigational markers across the varied topography of northwestern New Mexico.
