2010 Map of Shiprock

About this map

The San Juan River defines the heart of this landscape, carving through the high desert where the Chaco River and Many Devils Wash join its flow. In 2010, the settlement of Shiprock serves as a vital hub, marked by its Shiprock Post Office and Shiprock Cemetery. The map highlights a concentration of archaeological and cultural preservation, specifically the Hogback Archaeological District and the Mitten Rock Archaeological District. The San Juan River Bridge Historic Site stands as a notable engineering landmark near the town center. Industrial activity is evident through various operations like the Blanchard Mine to the west and the Shiprock Pit and Enos Johnson Mine to the east. Navigating the terrain are several indigenous transport routes, including Indian Service Route 5031 and Indian Service Route 36, while intricate irrigation systems like Ditch Number Nine and Cudei Ditch line the river valley.
