About this map

The eastern foothills of the Chuska Mountains dominate this 2010 landscape, where high-desert mesas meet a complex network of seasonal drainage washes. The settlement of Tohatchi serves as a primary hub along the eastern edge of the quadrangle, accompanied by its namesake Tohatchi Post Office. To the southwest, the community of Mexican Springs and the adjacent Nakaibito sit at the confluence of several vital routes, including Navajo Service Route 37 and Indian Service Route 9503.

Hydrological features define the terrain, from the broad Tohatchi Flats to the deeply incised paths of Mexican Spring Wash and Red Willow Wash. Distinctive landmarks like Sitting Coyote Mesa and Separate Hill provide vertical relief against the alluvial plains. This survey documents the modern infrastructure of the Fort Defiance Agency area, tracing the intersection of traditional landform names with contemporary Indian Service and Navajo Service road systems.
