About this map

Moenkopi Plateau and the surrounding high desert terrain define this landscape within the Navajo Nation. This area, documented in 2018, is characterized by a series of prominent geological features including Tohnali Mesa and the aptly named Appaloosa Ridge. Water drainage patterns are clearly visible through seasonal channels such as Big Wash, Little Wash, and the notably named Chithazhahi Wash, which provide critical reference points in an otherwise arid environment.

Transportation throughout this part of Coconino County relies on a network of tribal roads, specifically Indian Rte 6710, Indian Rte 6720, and Indian Rte 6032. These routes connect isolated landmarks like Little Hollow Place and navigate the significant elevation changes between The Big Ridge and The Little Ridge. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System township and range lines, which are essential for property and boundary research in this region.
