2017 Map of Surrender Canyon

About this map

The Arizona-New Mexico state line bisects this high-desert landscape, where the Apache and McKinley County border follows the same north-south axis. The terrain is defined by the significant drainage of Surrender Canyon to the east and the winding course of Black Creek in the northwest. Local transportation is a mix of tribal and county routes, including the prominent Indian Rte 12 and Aspen Canyon Rd, which navigate the complex topography. In the southern portion of the map, the Puerco River corridor provides a natural thoroughfare for Lupton Rd. Distinctive geographic landmarks such as Tea Pot and managed areas like Bowman Memorial Park anchor the map, illustrating the intersection of natural landforms and modern land management along the borderlands.
