2023 Map of West of La Vida Mission

About this map

White Rock sits in the northeast corner of this high-desert landscape in northwestern New Mexico, where the transition between San Juan Co and McKinley Co occurs. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Indian Creek, which cuts through the arid plateau and drains southward. A network of Bureau of Indian Affairs roads, such as Indian Svc Rte 7060 and Indian Svc Rte 9652, provides the primary infrastructure for this sparsely populated region. These routes often follow the natural contours of the land, avoiding steeper elevations like Red Hill. The map illustrates a landscape of intermittent water features and isolated settlements, reflecting the specialized transportation patterns of the Navajo Nation interior where service routes are vital for connecting distant communities across the high mesas and arroyos.
