2014 Map of San Juan Hill

About this map

San Juan River meanders through this high desert landscape, carving the dramatic San Juan Canyon as it flows westward. The topography is defined by the sharp verticality of Comb Ridge, a prominent monocline that dictates the drainage patterns of both Comb Wash and Butler Wash. The small settlement of Tselakai Dezza sits on the eastern edge of the survey, connected by Bia-5058. This 2014 survey documents a network of remote corridors including Lime Ridge Rd and Chinle Creek Rd, which provide access to notable landmarks such as Mule Ear and the broad Nokaito Bench. The confluence of Chinle Creek and the river marks a transition in the terrain, reflecting the arid character of the San Juan Valley and the surrounding mesas.
