About this map

The settlement of Sawmill serves as the central hub of this landscape within the Chinle Agency, characterized by a network of essential community landmarks including the Sawmill Trading Post and the Sawmill Post Office. The area is defined by its vital water sources and drainage systems, with Buell Wash and Ruin Wash cutting through the terrain, supported by several traditional water points like Tokezje Spring, Kallcheebito Spring, and Tohnalchai Spring.

Infrastructure is anchored by primary routes such as Indian Rte 72 and Indian Rte 73, which facilitate travel through the high desert environment. Notable geographic markers like Fluted Rock and Red Butte provide distinct navigational points, while the presence of the Rodeo Ground Corral and Fluted Rock Lake indicates the area's local ranching and recreational utility. This survey captures a specific moment in the early 21st century when these established trading and postal centers continued to anchor the community's geographic identity.
