About this map

Kaibito Plateau dominates this high-desert landscape in northern Arizona, characterized by a series of prominent geological formations and ridges. The topography is defined by the Mormon Ridges which cut across the central terrain, and the distinctive presence of Wind Rock to the southeast. These features provide a clear view of the erosion patterns typical of the region, where wind and water have sculpted the underlying rock over millennia.

In the eastern portion of the study area, the dramatic Arrowhead Mesa rises above the surrounding flats, housing the notable Arrowhead Arch. This 2021 survey illustrates a largely undeveloped expanse of Coconino County, where natural landmarks serve as the primary navigational anchors. The lack of modern infrastructure or settlements highlights the isolation of this corner of the state, preserving a landscape that remains primarily shaped by the elements.
