2021 Map of Beautiful Valley Well

About this map

Beautiful Valley provides the setting for this remote landscape, where seasonal watercourses like Nazlini Wash and Tah-aith-cheed Wash define the drainage of the high desert. The namesake Beautiful Valley Well sits near the center of the sheet, a vital resource for livestock and inhabitants in an area characterized by wide expanses and canyon systems like Cottonwood Canyon. In the northeast, Flat Rock Reservoir serves as a significant catch basin where Nazlini Creek and the wash converge. This modern survey illustrates the persistent importance of water infrastructure and the network of tribal routes, including Indian Rte 27 and Old Indian Rte 27, which trace the natural topography of the reservation landscape.
