2021 Map of Big Point

About this map

Big Point rises as a prominent landmark in this high-desert landscape situated along the border of Arizona and Utah. The map focuses on the dramatic verticality of the Navajo Nation's terrain, defined by the massive Skeleton Mesa to the south and Nokai Mesa to the northwest. Erosion has carved deep, winding drainage systems through the sandstone, most notably the Begashinitani Canyon and the branching corridors of the West Fork Copper Canyon and East Fork Copper Canyon. Human presence is minimal, represented primarily by the isolated stretch of Bowsley Rd and the crossing of the Navajo and San Juan county lines. Large geological features like the Todicheenie Bench and Hoskinnini Mesa dominate the survey, illustrating the complex topography of the Four Corners region before the modern era's encroachment.
