About this map

Roof Butte stands as a prominent topographical centerpiece at the intersection of the Arizona-New Mexico state line, marking a high point within the Tunitcha Mountains and the northern Chuska Mountains. This 2014 survey details a network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Bia-13 and Bia-68, which traverse the high-altitude landscape of the Shiprock Agency. The drainage patterns are defined by seasonally active watercourses like Little Shiprock Wash and Sanostee Wash, which carve through the high plateaus and canyons.

Water resources are specifically noted at Narrow Creek Spring and 12R-66 Spring, essential landmarks in this arid upland environment. The presence of Snake Bridge and the towering Beautiful Mtn underscore the dramatic vertical relief of the region. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Apache County, Arizona, and San Juan County, New Mexico, providing a modern geospatial record of this tribal land management area.
