2021 Map of Begashibito Canyon

About this map

Begashibito Canyon and the surrounding high desert plateau of Coconino County define this arid landscape during the early 21st century. The drainage patterns of the Begashibito Wash and Moenkopi Wash reveal the intricate erosional history of the region, where seasonal water flow has carved deep into the earth. Scattered water sources such as Wild Horse Spring, Coldwater Spring, and Nee De Mise Betoh suggest the critical importance of localized hydrology for both wildlife and human travel in this environment. The presence of Old Indian Rte 7 alongside the modern Indian Rte 7 demonstrates the persistence of historical transportation corridors through the complex terrain of Blue Canyon.
