2011 Map of Big Point

About this map

Indian Rte 6450 winds through this high desert region on the Arizona-Utah border, providing the primary access through a landscape dominated by dramatic sandstone formations and drainage networks. The topography is defined by massive plateau features, including Nokai Mesa in the northwest and Hoskinnini Mesa to the northeast. This 2011 survey illustrates the remote character of the Navajo Nation, where named landmarks like Big Point and Todicheenie Bench serve as vital navigational markers in an area where traditional road infrastructure is sparse. A notable geomorphological feature known as The Ramp suggests a natural ascent or passage through the otherwise steep-walled mesas, reflecting the practical human geography of navigating this complex vertical terrain.
