About this map

Skinney Rock stands as a prominent landmark in this high-desert landscape situated along the border of Colorado and New Mexico. The 2013 topography reveals a complex network of canyons and arroyos, including the deep incisions of Tanner Canyon and Weekley Canyon that dominate the northern half of the quadrangle. Resource extraction is evident through the Weekley Oil Field and Horseshoe Gallup Oil Field, which punctuate the plateau between these drainages.

Volcanic features such as Volcano Peak and Black Cone rise above the surrounding terrain in the southwest, while seasonal water sources like Pouch Spring and the Malpais Arroyo indicate the arid nature of the Shiprock Agency region. Transportation in this remote area relies on specialized thoroughfares like Indian Service Route 5030 and Indian Service Route 5091, which navigate the mesas and draws south of Blue Hill.
