2014 Map of Big Mountain Dam
USGS Topo · Published 2014About this map
Big Mountain Dam and its adjacent Big Mountain Dam Reservoir anchor the southern landscape of this Navajo Nation territory. The region is defined by significant topographical landmarks and traditional place names, including the prominent Ziltahjini Peak and the nearby Big Mountain Spring. The terrain transitions through high-elevation basins such as White Hair Valley and Many Sheep Valley, divided by points of high ground like Salt Point. A network of Bureau of Indian Affairs roads, such as Bia-8029, provides the primary transit through these valleys, connecting isolated landmarks like Tsin Yatoh to the broader drainage of the Oraibi Wash. This survey documents a rural and cultural landscape where water management and traditional land names intersect within the high desert environment of Arizona's high plateaus.
