About this map

Chaco Culture National Historical Park anchors the northwestern corner of this landscape, where the high terrain of Chaco Mesa meets the drainage systems of the San Juan Basin. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, particularly around the distinctive Red Mtn and the sweeping escarpments of W Chaco Mesa. These landforms dictate the flow of seasonal water through Chaco Wash and Fajada Wash, which carve through the high desert floor. The map details the complex Public Land Survey System divisions, including t20n r9w and t20n r10w, illustrating how modern administrative boundaries overlay a rugged, ancient geography. This survey provides a precise look at the drainage patterns and land management lines in a region where natural landmarks like mesas and washes serve as the primary navigational anchors.
