2017 Map of Ship Rock

About this map

Ship Rock dominates the center of this landscape, its dramatic geological form rising above the surrounding high desert terrain in San Juan County. This 2017 survey shows the modern transportation network that facilitates travel through this portion of the Navajo Nation, including Red Rock Hwy and several Bureau of Indian Affairs routes like Indian Svc Rte 5010. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, with the significant Shiprock Wash and Arroyo Del Pajarito cutting through the arid plains. These ephemeral waterways and the roads that parallel them, such as Red Valley Rd, provide a modern look at the land management and infrastructure surrounding one of the most recognizable landmarks in the American Southwest.
