2023 Map of Whitehorse Rincon

About this map

Whitehorse Rincon occupies a high-desert landscape in McKinley County, defined by the striking topography of Mesa Cortada and the winding course of Ojo Canyon. This modern survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the intricate network of service roads and traditional routes that traverse the region, including Navajo Svc Rte 7004 and the Rincon Marquez Rd. The map illustrates a remote environment where water management is critical, as evidenced by the presence of Johnson Tank and the seasonal drainage of the North Fork Arroyo Chico. The spatial arrangement of these landmarks reflects the enduring land use patterns in this part of New Mexico, showing how geography and infrastructure intersect in a sparsely populated terrain.
