2017 Map of Rocky Point

About this map

Beclabito serves as the primary settlement within this high-desert landscape of San Juan County, where drainage systems like Beclabito Wash and Red Wash define the arid geography. The map illustrates a network of traditional Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Bia Rte 5113 and Indian SVC Rte 5038, which connect local residents across a terrain of distinct geological formations. Notable landmarks such as Rock Pile Mesa, Bruised Ridge, and Feather Hill rise above the surrounding flats, while deep incisions like Rocky Canyon and Last Canyon reveal the erosive history of the region. Water remains a vital, sparse resource as indicated by Oak Spring and the seasonal flows of First Gray Wash and Second Gray Wash. This survey captures the rural infrastructure of the Navajo Nation in the early 21st century, detailing the relationship between scattered homesteads and the ancient landforms of the Colorado Plateau.
