2010 Map of Standing Rock NW

About this map

Standing Rock Wash serves as the central geographic axis for this section of the New Mexico landscape, winding its way across a terrain marked by ephemeral watercourses and remote access routes. The drainage patterns, including Soft Water Wash in the southwest corner, dictate the local topography and historical movement through this region. Infrastructure is minimal, defined primarily by the long stretch of the Old Bureau of Land Mgmt Rd, which provides a window into the land management practices of the early 21st century. The inclusion of Ind Sr 9555 points to the essential transportation corridors used by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and local agencies to navigate this high-desert environment before more modern developments took hold.
