2018 Map of Arrowhead Butte

About this map

Pueblo Colorado Valley occupies the northeast corner of this high-desert landscape in the Navajo Nation, defined by the seasonal drainage of the Pueblo Colorado Wash. The terrain is punctuated by distinctive volcanic or erosional remnants, most notably Arrowhead Butte and Smooth Butte, which serve as primary navigational landmarks in an area dominated by open range and mesas. The map documents a sparse transportation network vital to the region, including Indian Rte 157 and Indian Rte 9811. These routes, along with localized tracks like N-9003, follow the natural contours of the land, connecting the valley to the surrounding plateaus. The survey captures the relationship between the ephemeral watercourses and the established grazing or settlement patterns of the modern era.
