About this map

Whitehorse stands as a central point in this high-desert landscape of the Eastern Navajo Agency, where the infrastructure of the early 21st century meets traditional landform landmarks. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations including Chaco Mesa to the north and the prominent heights of Mesa Alta and Mesa Pueblo further south. Hydrological features like Fajada Wash and Sand Springs Arroyo cut through the arid soil, indicating the vital natural drainages of the region.

Local commerce and connectivity are rooted in the presence of the Prairie Dog Trading Post and the small settlement of Moleres. Movement across this territory relies on a network of tribal roads, notably Navajo Route 7136 and Navajo Service Route 7004. These routes connect dispersed residents to essential landmarks like Fence Lake, illustrating the sparse but deliberate settlement pattern typical of the New Mexico interior during this era.
