2017 Map of Whitehorse Rincon

About this map

Whitehorse Rincon serves as a prominent landform within this high-desert region of the Eastern Navajo Agency. The map illustrates a landscape of significant elevation changes, defined by the broad plateau of Chaco Mesa and the distinct formation of Mesa Cortada. Human presence and transit in this arid environment are marked by Navajo Svc Rte 7004 and Rincon Marquez Rd, which navigate the complex topography. Vital water management features, such as Johnson Tank, suggest the area's historical reliance on seasonal or managed water sources. The southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the drainage of the N Fork Arroyo Chico and the branching corridors of Ojo Canyon. This survey captures the sparse infrastructure and geological prominence of the McKinley County landscape as it stood in the early 21st century.
