2013 Map of Sanostee East

About this map

The high desert landscape near Sanostee is defined by a network of drainage washes and essential Indian Service roads. This 2013 survey of the Shiprock Agency area highlights the intersection of traditional settlements and modern infrastructure, featuring the Sanostee Trading Post and the Sanostee Airport. The terrain transitions from the elevations of Rock Ridge and Rock Mesa down into the seasonal watercourses of Sanostee Wash and Tocito Wash, which carve through the arid environment. Industrial activity is concentrated at the Tocito Dome Oil Field in the northeastern portion of the quadrangle. Small-scale water sources like 12M-39 Spring and Pajarito Cr are critical landmarks in this territory, where transportation is facilitated by thoroughfares such as Indian Service Route 5005 and Indian Service Route 5012.
