2011 Map of Big Point

About this map

Nokal Mesa and Hoskinnini Mesa dominate the high-elevation landscape of this 2011 survey in Navajo County. The area is defined by massive, flat-topped formations and deep drainage systems, most notably the West Fork Copper Canyon and East Fork Copper Canyon which carve through the northern reaches. Central to this geography is Big Point, a prominent overlook that stands between the larger masses of Skeleton Mesa and the expansive Todicheenie Bench. Transport through this remote section of the Navajo Nation is facilitated primarily by Indian Rte 6450, a road that winds across the varying elevations and connects these isolated natural landmarks. This map provides a detailed record of the natural topography and primary transit routes in a region where geological features serve as the primary navigational markers.
