About this map

Manila sits alongside the northern bank of the Little Colorado River in this modern-era study of the Navajo County landscape. The area is defined by the significant corridor formed by the river and the parallel tracks of the railroad, which cut through the high desert terrain. Notable elevations and depressions provide distinct landmarks across the quadrangle, including Apache Butte at the center and the grazing land of Hugo Meadows to the west.

Water sources are vital features in this arid environment, evidenced by the presence of McDonald Spring and the drainage system of Manila Wash. Local transport relies on a network of named routes such as Hibbard Rd, Cosby Rd, and the historically suggestive Territorial Rd. To the south, the terrain becomes more broken, carved by the depths of McDonald Canyon and Chimney Canyon, showing the complex topography that surrounds the river valley.
