GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM
The mission of the Geographic Information System (GIS) group is to foster positive collaboration with Navajo Land Department employees and their clients while overseeing the development and management of GIS and IT systems. Our office produces computer‑generated maps that display land layers, jurisdictional boundaries, and land status information throughout the Navajo Nation. We further coordinate and administer all digital land data, integrating modern technologies to ensure efficient, accurate, and accessible public mapping resources.
GIS data is obtained from numerous internal divisions and departments, with authorization from each source, and is used strictly for mapping purposes. This data is not shared externally. Requests for specific datasets should be directed to the appropriate data owners, such as the Navajo Department of Water Resources, Navajo Division of Transportation, or Navajo Tribal Utility Authority. Community boundary data is based on U.S. Census boundaries, and Grazing Boundary information is available through BIA area offices.
Additionally, our team conducts land status verifications for crime scene investigations for the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Navajo Nation Department of Criminal Investigation.
Disclaimer: Provided maps offer a visual overview of Navajo Nation land information compiled from multiple sources. For complete accuracy and the most current data, please consult our staff.
