About this map

Stinking Springs and Sulphur Spring define this arid landscape near the Chaco River in the high desert of northwestern New Mexico. This 2010 survey illustrates a region shaped by natural drainage systems and modern infrastructure, where Dead Mans Wash and Many Devils Wash converge toward the larger river valley. Transportation and recreation are centered around the Shiprock Airstrip and the Red Rock Hwy, providing access to the Ship Rock Campground.

The presence of Brewster Dam indicates a managed water system in a territory characterized by significant geological landmarks like Cactus Peak. Remote travel through this Shiprock Agency territory is facilitated by Indian Service Route 36, which cuts across the washes that dominate the local topography. The map captures the specialized use of this desert terrain, balancing local infrastructure with natural springs and camping facilities.
