2011 Map of Appaloosa Ridge

About this map

Moenkopi Plateau anchors this high-desert landscape in northern Arizona, where a sparse network of roads connects isolated water and terrain features. The presence of the Little Cowboy Windmill at a central crossroads indicates the importance of water management in this arid environment. The terrain is defined by prominent topographical rises, most notably Appaloosa Ridge, along with The Big Ridge and The Little Ridge to the south. Seasonal drainage patterns are mapped through several dry watercourses, including Big Wash and Chiehazhahi Wash. Transportation throughout the area is facilitated by designated routes such as Indian Rte 6710 and Indian Rte 6720, which traverse the open plateau between these named ridges and washes.
