2023 Map of Vanderwagen

About this map

Whitewater Arroyo and its drainage network, including Nelson Wash and Skeets Wash, define the hydrology of this McKinley County landscape. The settlement of Vanderwagen is the primary hub of activity, situated near the intersection of several rural routes and the Vanderwagen Reservoir Number Two. Further south, the community of Sagar sits along the Broken Arrow Rd corridor. The geography transitions from open drainage basins into the more confined terrain of Manuelito Canyon and Big Falls Canyon to the northwest. This contemporary survey reveals a complex grid of local roads and Navajo Service routes, such as Navajo Svc Rte 7045, which facilitate travel between residential areas and prominent natural features like Big Falls.
