2010 Map of Window Rock

About this map

Fort Defiance and Window Rock serve as the primary hubs in this high-desert landscape, where the administrative centers of the Navajo Nation are intricately mapped. The terrain is defined by the broad Black Creek Valley, flanked by dramatic geological formations like The Haystacks and the Black Rock Natural Bridge. This 2010 survey highlights a unique economy of regional commerce, evidenced by numerous historical commerce sites including the Bonita Trading Post, Karrigan Trading Post, and Two Story Trading Post. Transport and infrastructure are represented by the WindowRock Airport and a network of tribal routes like Indian Rte-12. The presence of the Navajo Tribal Zoo and the Tse Bonito Campground indicates the area's role as a cultural and visitor destination, while the isolated Duclos Mine and features such as Disappearing Spring Wash speak to the specific resource and water management challenges of the high plateau.
