2021 Map of Big Mountain Dam
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
Big Mountain Dam and its adjacent Big Mountain Dam Reservoir anchor the southern portion of this high-desert landscape in Navajo County. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation changes, featuring prominent peaks like Ziltahjini Peak and Big Mtn in the north, which overlook the broad expanses of White Hair Valley and Many Sheep Valley. This 2021 survey reveals a landscape largely shaped by traditional land use and water management, where seasonal drainages such as Oraibi Wash and Tsin Yatoh are critical features. The sparse infrastructure consists primarily of unpaved routes like the Turquoise Trl and Indian Rte 8029, reflecting the rural character of the region. Localized water sources, including Big Mountain Spring, remain essential landmarks for navigation and local history in this arid environment.
