About this map

Sunrise Springs and the nearby Sunrise Trading Post anchor this remote landscape in the Fort Defiance Agency region during the early 21st century. The map reveals a drainage network defined by Big Wilderness Wash and the meandering Ruins Wash, which cuts past the prominent high ground of Ruins Ridge. Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by the Big Dam Reservoir and localized water sources like Shonto Spring.

The infrastructure is characterized by a lattice of tribal and local routes, including Indian Rte-9205 and Indian Rte-28, connecting the scattered hubs of activity. The presence of Cornfield Rd and Airport Rd suggests a landscape balancing traditional land use with modern utility. This survey provides a clear view of the area's geography before more recent shifts in road designations or settlement density.
