About this map

Two Grey Hills and the eastern slopes of the Chuska Mountains define this high-desert landscape in San Juan County. The settlement at Two Grey Hills is a focal point for the surrounding region, known for its deep cultural history and the network of service roads that traverse the terrain, such as Indian Svc Rte 5001. The geography is etched by drainage systems including To-dil-hil Wash, Captain Tom Wash, and Tuntsa Wash, which reveal the seasonal movement of water across the mesa.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Powerline Community Cem in the northwestern quadrant, a significant landmark for tracing family heritage in this area. Named water sources like Mike Spring and Mormon Spring reflect the vital importance of reliable water in this arid environment. The map provides a detailed view of the Grey Mesa and the transition from the mountain foothills to the expansive flats below, captured just before the mid-2020s.
