About this map

White Mesa Valley and the expansive White Mesa upland dominate this corner of the San Juan basin, where the landscape is defined by the deep incisions of Lone Mountain Canyon. The area is characterized by its vital watercourses, including Salt Water Cr and Lone Mountain Cr, which have historically dictated movement through this arid corridor.

A network of tribal and county routes provides the primary infrastructure here, such as Teec Nos Pos Rd and the Navajo White Mesa Rd. These roads connect the southern reaches of Red Mesa with the northern drainages, tracing paths that follow the natural topography of the mesas and washes. The presence of S San Juan River Rd in the east suggests the importance of the river corridor to the local regional transit and settlement patterns.
