2023 Map of White Rock Point

About this map

Bluff sits at the northern edge of this high-desert landscape, where the San Juan River flows through the San Juan Valley. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological features, including the eponymous White Rock Point and the high elevations of Casa del Eco Mesa. Settlement is sparse, with the community of Tselakai Dezza appearing in the southern portion of the quadrangle along the Gothic Creek drainage. To the east of the primary settlements, the White Rock Point Cem serves as a significant landmark for genealogical research. Water sources are critical in this arid environment, evidenced by named locations like Window Rock Spring and Ute Spring. The map documents a network of county and Indian routes, such as Mexican Water Rd and Indian Rte 5058, which connect isolated benches like Nokaito Bench to the river valley.
