About this map

Archaeological significance defines this high-desert landscape in the Shiprock Agency region. The map highlights protected cultural heritage sites including the Two Grey Hills Archaeological District and the Skunk Springs-Crumbled House Archaeological District. These sites are linked by a complex network of unpaved roads and tribal infrastructure, most notably Indian Service Route 5004 and Indian Service Route 5001.

Water management and drainage are central to the settlement pattern at Two Grey Hills, with ephemeral waterways like Captain Tom Wash and Tuntsa Wash carving through the terrain near the prominent Grey Mesa. The location of Mormon Spring suggests the vital importance of reliable water sources in this arid environment. This 2010 survey illustrates the modern layout of these ancestral lands, showing the intersection of ancient history and contemporary Navajo Nation life.
