About this map

Chaco Culture National Historical Park preserves the northern reaches of a significant archaeological and cultural landscape in New Mexico. High desert landforms dominate the terrain, notably the broad elevations of Chacra Mesa and Chaco Mesa. These highlands are bisected by the dramatic geological cuts of Chaco Canyon and the winding course of Chaco Wash.

Industrial activity appears in the central portion of the map at the Red Mountain Oil Field, situated near the prominent landmark of Red Mtn. The hydrology is defined by seasonal drainage patterns including Fajada Wash, which flows through the southwestern corner. Transportation in this part of the Eastern Navajo Agency is limited to unpaved access and the primary corridor of Navajo Route 7136, illustrating the isolation and specialized land use of the region in the early twenty-first century.
