2020 Map of Whitehorse Rincon

About this map

Whitehorse Rincon and the high plateaus of Chaco Mesa dominate this landscape in the Eastern Navajo Agency. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological formations, including the prominent Mesa Cortada and the winding depths of Ojo Canyon. This area reflects the arid high-desert environment of McKinley County, where water management is critical, as evidenced by the presence of Johnson Tank and the seasonal drainage of the N Fork Arroyo Chico. Sparse infrastructure connects the region, primarily through Navajo Svc Rte 7004 and Rincon Marquez Rd, which trace the base of the mesas. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System grid across T19N and T18N, illustrating how these administrative boundaries overlay the complex topography of New Mexico’s canyon country.
