2013 Map of Whitehorse

About this map

Whitehorse serves as a primary settlement point in this high-desert landscape, where the terrain is defined by dramatic elevations and seasonal watercourses. The prominent Chaco Mesa dominates the northeastern corner, rising above the extensive drainage of Fajada Wash, which meanders across the central plateau. To the south, the geography transition into a series of smaller uplifted features including Mesa Alta, Moleres, and Mesa Pueblo. The presence of the Prairie Dog Trading Post along the southern reaches of the wash points to the area's continued role as a hub for local commerce and transit. Transportation through this part of the Eastern Navajo Agency relies on a network of routes such as Navajo Route 7136 and the more remote Dicon-Marquis Rd, providing vital links between isolated homesteads and the larger water features like Fence Lake and the North Fork Arroyo Chico.
