2011 Map of Big Mountain Dam
USGS Topo · Published 2011About this map
Big Mountain Dam Reservoir and the adjacent Big Mountain Dam anchor the southwest corner of this high-desert landscape in Navajo County. The terrain is defined by broad valleys and prominent rises, where names like White Hair Valley and Many Sheep Valley suggest the cultural and pastoral history of the Chinle Agency region. Navigation through the area relies on a network of established paths and roads, including Indian Rte 8029 and the evocatively named Turquoise Trl. Rising above the surrounding flats, Ziltahjini Peak and Salt Point serve as distinctive landmarks. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise view of the water sources and traditional travel routes essential to this part of the Navajo Nation.
