2011 Map of Wide Ruins SW

About this map

191 cuts diagonally through this high-desert landscape in the Fort Defiance Agency region, providing a modern spine for a vast network of local roads. The terrain is characterized by a sparse, branched drainage pattern and the distinct presence of La Pinta Mesa Rd, which traverses the western half of the quadrangle. As a modern US Topo sheet, this map highlights the contemporary road infrastructure essential for travel between remote points, including Burntwater Rd and numerous routes designated for the Navajo Nation, such as Indian Rte 9411 and Indian Rte 9404. The map illustrates a largely rural and open environment where transportation is defined by these long-distance corridors and unpaved connectors.
