About this map

Red Mesa dominates the northern landscape of this borderland region, where the state lines of Arizona and Utah meet. The terrain is characterized by high plateaus, including Dry Mesa and the prominent elevations of Rock Point, which are carved by a network of drainage channels such as Tsitah Wash. This 2018 survey reveals a modern infrastructure of tribal and county roads that navigate the complex topography, providing a detailed record of the access routes through the Shiprock Agency area.

A network of local transit ways, including Indian Rte 35, Old Switzo Rd, and several numbered Apache County roads, indicates the continued importance of these corridors for movement across the high desert. The map captures the intersection of traditional landform names with contemporary administrative boundaries, such as the division between San Juan County and Apache County, essential for understanding the modern geography of this Navajo Nation territory.
