2018 Map of Round Rock

About this map

Round Rock and Rock Pointing West anchor this survey of the high desert plateau within the Navajo Nation. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological formations, most notably the prominent Los Gigantes Buttes and the sprawling Red Clay Mesa. Water sources are critical points of interest in this arid environment, marked by numerous named seeps such as Tohatchi Spring, Pigeon Spring, and the Tsa-Yah Das Iahi Spring. In the northern portion, the Hasbidito Valley provides a natural corridor for Hasbidito Cr, while the southern reaches are drained by Lukachukai Creek. For those studying the traditional movement across this landscape, the map reveals a network of local routes like Indian Rte 172 and Indian Rte 8009, connecting isolated landmarks like The Rock Gap and Gun Point.
