2017 Map of Standing Rock NW

About this map

Standing Rock Wash provides the primary hydrologic structure across this high-desert landscape in the northwestern reaches of New Mexico. The map details a remote section of the Fort Defiance Agency territory where natural drainages like Soft Water Wash dictate the movement of both water and historical transit. The human footprint is defined largely by administrative and infrastructure routes, such as the Old Bureau of Land Mgmt Rd and Ind Sr 9655, which navigate the township and range divisions of T20N R16W and T19N R15W. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring character of the McKinley County terrain, documenting the precise interplay between ephemeral watercourses and the sparse network of land management roads that serve this isolated region.
