About this map

Tohonadla Oil Field dominates the southern landscape of this 1989 survey, marked by a dense network of oil wells, Tanks, and a pipeline that reflects the industrial activity within the Navajo Indian Reservation. The terrain transitions from the high, flat expanse of Casa Del Mesa and Nokaito Bench into the deep incisions of Window Rock Canyon. To the north, the San Juan River cuts through the desert floor, while landmarks like White Rock Point and Natural Arch define the local topography.

Water sources are vital in this arid environment, with several springs, including Window Rock Spring and Ute Spring, located among the canyons. The presence of numerous drill holes and flowing wells alongside a Corral and substation indicates a landscape managed for both resource extraction and livestock. The area is bisected by U.S. Route 191, which provides the primary access through this section of San Juan County.
