2021 Map of Bat Canyon

About this map

Moenkopi Plateau dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, its elevated surface giving way to a complex network of erosional features. The terrain is defined by dramatic topographical shifts where the high plateau drops into deeply incised drainages, most notably the namesake Bat Canyon. This area reflects the characteristic geomorphology of the region, where water, though scarce, has shaped the earth over millennia. A rare water source, Nez Spring, is documented in the central portion of the map, providing a vital point of interest in an otherwise arid environment. The northern edge of the sheet is marked by the winding path of Ha Ho No Geh Canyon, another significant drainage system that illustrates the intricate natural carving of the Coconino County high desert.
