2013 Map of The Hogback South

About this map

The Hogback rises as the dominant geological landmark in this part of the San Juan Basin, its distinctive monocline structure cutting through the desert landscape. The Chaco River meanders across the territory, joined by intermittent drainages such as Coal Cr and Cottonwood Arroyo. This 2013 survey illustrates a sparsely populated region defined by its topography and the logistical infrastructure managed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and tribal authorities. The alignment of Indian Service Route 5017 and Yazzie Skyline Rd indicates how modern travel routes continue to follow the natural corridors established by the local geography. These labels reflect the ongoing importance of access and naming within the Navajo Nation, providing a precise record of the land's administrative and physical characteristics in the early 21st century.
