2010 Map of Roof Butte

About this map

Roof Butte stands as a prominent landmark at the intersection of the Chuska Mountains and the Tunitcha Mountains, marking a high point in this high-altitude landscape. This 2010 survey details the complex network of drainage systems and indigenous transport routes that define the region, including Red Wash and Sanostee Wash. The map documents localized human activity through the presence of the Enos Johnson Mine and the Narrow Creek Spring, reflecting a long history of resource utilization. A distinctive landform known as Snake Bridge and the rising slopes of Beautiful Mountain further characterize the area. Navigational corridors like Indian Rte-13 and Indian Service Route 5013 cut through the high-elevation terrain, connecting these remote points within the Shiprock Agency.
