About this map

Tsaya and the dramatic landscape of Tsaya Canyon anchor this portion of the Eastern Navajo Agency. The terrain is defined by a complex network of intermittent drainages, most notably the Chaco River and its various tributaries like De-na-zin Wash and Rock Wash. These seasonal watercourses dictate the local geography, carving through the high desert floor and creating natural landmarks such as Dog Eye Pond and Tanner Lake.

Human activity in this arid environment is represented by a lattice of transit routes and industrial sites. Numerous Indian Service Routes, including Indian Service Route 7000 and Indian Service Route 7023, provide access to the hinterland. Near the center of the quadrangle, the Chaco Wash Pit indicates local resource extraction, while the settlement at Tsaya remains a primary point of reference in this sparsely populated region of New Mexico.
