About this map

Fort Defiance and the capital of the Navajo Nation at Window Rock anchor this survey of the Arizona and New Mexico border region. The map documents a unique concentration of commercial and community hubs, including the Fort Defiance Trading Post, Karrigan Trading Post, and the Two Story Trading Post. These sites, alongside the Saint Michaels community, reflect the enduring intersection of traditional commerce and modern governance.

The landscape is defined by striking geological formations such as the Black Rock Natural Bridge and The Haystacks, while the Tse Bonito Valley provides a corridor for travel and settlement. Critical infrastructure and local landmarks range from the Window Rock Airport to the Navajo Tribal Zoo. The complex drainage patterns of Black Creek and ephemeral features like Disappearing Spring Wash reveal the hydrology of this high-elevation desert environment.
