2014 Map of White Point

About this map

White Top Mesa and the prominent White Point define this high-desert landscape in Apache County, captured during a 2014 survey. The area is characterized by vast mesas and the intermittent drainage systems that shape them, such as Burro Wash in the west and Trading Post Wash to the east. The land is largely defined by these natural elevations, including the broad expanse of Carson Mesa in the southeast corner. Transportation through this part of the Shiprock Agency relies on Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, notably Bia-18, Bia-594, and Bia-8070, which navigate the shifting elevations between the plateaus and the lowlands. This map illustrates the intersection of traditional landform names with modern administrative infrastructure, showing how the physical geography of the mesas dictates the path of local travel and land management boundaries.
