About this map

Balakai Mesa dominates the northern landscape of this region within the Navajo Nation, standing as a prominent topographic feature above the surrounding terrain. Below its southern rim, the land is marked by Owl Hat Point and carved by the intermittent flow of Jeddito Wash, which traverses the southern half of the quadrangle. The distribution of water sources like Beeshsikad Spring, Oak Spring, and Cow Springs reveals the essential points of hydrologic significance for local residents and livestock in this high-desert environment.

Transportation is defined by a sparse network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Bia-8059 and Bia-8046, which facilitate movement between the mesas and the wash. These roads, alongside Co Road C290, connect isolated points such as Antelope Trail Spring to the broader geography of Apache County. The map provides a precise look at the township and range divisions, illustrating how this expansive landscape was organized into legal sections for land management.
