About this map

Mexican Water Trading Post stands as a focal point in this high desert landscape, situated near the crossing of Walker Creek. This 2014 survey captures a section of the Navajo Nation where the state lines of Arizona and Utah meet, specifically between Apache Co and San Juan Co. The drainage patterns of Willow Spring Wash and the ephemeral Walker Cr Reservoir define the local hydrology, while the topography is marked by significant formations like Gothic Mesa and the distinct Window Rock.

A network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Bia-5058 and Bia-5045, provides access through the various benches and hills. These roads connect the trading post to natural landmarks such as Walker Creek Arch and Waterfall Spring. The map documents the enduring geography of the Shiprock Agency region, illustrating how modern transportation corridors follow the natural contours of the Nokaito Bench and Black Hill.
