About this map

Many Devils Wash and Dead Mans Wash carve through this high desert terrain in the Shiprock Agency region. The landscape is defined by its water sources, most notably Sulphur Spring and the curiously named Stinking Springs, which sit near the intersection of various survey townships. These hydrological features provided critical life-sustaining points in an otherwise arid environment.

Transportation through the area is marked by HWY 36 and the Red Rock Hwy, while the Shiprock Airstrip suggests the modern accessibility of this remote sector. To the west, Cactus Peak stands as a prominent topographical landmark, overlooking smaller features like 112R-78 Spring. This map captures the intersection of natural drainage patterns and the infrastructure supporting travel across San Juan County.
