About this map

The Round Rock Trading Post serves as a historic focal point for this high-desert region of the Navajo Nation, situated where Indian Rte-12 meets the local topography near the community of Round Rock. The landscape is defined by dramatic geological features, including the towering Los Gigantes Buttes and the striking Twin Red Hills. A network of essential water sources, such as Mexican Spring and Tohatchi Spring, are vital markers across the arid terrain of Hasbidito Valley and Red Clay Mesa.

Hydrological patterns are traced through the Lukachukai Wash and Hasbidito Creek, which drain toward the valley floor, while the White Water Reservoir indicates modern water management in this traditional landscape. The map reveals the relationship between sparse settlements like Standing Rock and the surrounding natural landmarks, from the prominence of Gun Point and Blue Gap Point to the sheltered Band Valley in the south.
