2017 Map of The Pillar NW

About this map

Pinabete Arroyo carves a winding path through this corner of the Shiprock Agency, defining a high desert landscape shaped by seasonal drainage. The most prominent human infrastructure is Indian Svc Rte 5, which cuts diagonally across the southern half of the quadrangle, providing a vital connection through the Public Land Survey System divisions of t26n r15w and t25n r15w. This modern topographical study captures the arid character of San Juan County, where wide-open sections of tribal land are delineated by deep-cut arroyos and a sparse network of service roads. The map reveals the intricate contouring of the New Mexico terrain, documenting the precise elevation changes and drainage patterns that characterize the area's geography.
