2011 Map of Arrowhead Butte

About this map

Arrowhead Butte rises from the high desert terrain of the Navajo Nation, serving as a prominent landmark in this northeastern corner of Arizona. This survey captures a landscape defined by its distinct geological formations and the essential transportation arteries that connect these remote reaches. The northern portion of the quadrangle is anchored by Smooth Butte, while the network of roads, including Indian Rte 157 and the thoroughfare N-9003, reveals the modern infrastructure overlaid upon traditional lands. The map illustrates a sparse but vital layout of ephemeral watercourses and tracks, reflecting a region where geography and movement are shaped by the open, arid environment and the presence of these distinctive volcanic or erosional buttes.
