About this map

Mexican Springs and Tohatchi anchor this landscape within the Fort Defiance Agency, where the eastern slopes of the Chuska Mountains meet the high desert plains. The drainage system is particularly dense, with numerous seasonal watercourses like Chuska Wash, Muddy Wash, and Norcross Wash carving through the terrain. These washes generally flow eastward toward the Tohatchi Flats, a broad basin defined by landmarks such as Sitting Coyote Mesa and Separate Hill.

Modern infrastructure follows ancient corridors, with Us-491 serving as the primary north-south artery. Local connectivity is maintained through a network of service routes including Navajo Service Route 31 and Indian Service Route 108. The map also details the complex network of smaller paths like Black Spring Rd and Jimmie Rd, which link remote family locations and essential resources such as the Mexican Spring Wash.
