2020 Map of Standing Rock

About this map

Standing Rock serves as the central focal point of this high-desert landscape in the Eastern Navajo Agency. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainage systems, most notably Standing Rock Wash and several prominent canyons including Burned Water Canyon, Pinetree Canyon, and Dog Spring Canyon. The topographical character is punctuated by the Twin Peaks and Dry Hill, while Rough Rock Spring provides a named water source in the northern reaches. The settlement pattern is sparse, connected by a network of service routes and local roads such as Navajo Svc Rte 9 and Indian Svc Rte 7021. To the south, the land rises toward the Dalton Pass Canyon, showcasing the traditional importance of these natural corridors for movement through the region.
