2018 Map of Windy Valley

About this map

Chinle Valley dominates the eastern landscape of this quadrangle, where the arid terrain transitions from the high elevations of Carson Mesa down to the drainage of Windy Valley. The 2018 survey reveals a sparse network of roads, notably Indian Rte 18 and Old Benehotso Rd, which navigate the rugged topography characteristic of the Shiprock Agency region. Water sources in this high-desert environment are localized and critical, represented here by Little Pipe Spring and the drainage at Toh Dah Hee Dat Conii. Near the southern boundary, the prominent landform of Window Rock stands as a significant geographic marker. The grid-like division of townships and ranges, such as t35n r25e, provides the underlying structure for land management across the vast White Hills and surrounding plateaus.
