2014 Map of Big Whisker Well

About this map

The Kaibito Plateau dominates this high-desert landscape in Coconino County, characterized by its complex network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes and sparse water sources. The namesake Big Whisker Well sits centrally, a vital landmark in an arid terrain marked by dramatic elevations like White Mesa to the northeast and Wildcat Peak in the southern reaches. The transport patterns on this sheet are defined by numbered routes such as Bia-21, which cuts a long north-south path through the center, and its various branches like Bia-212 and Bia-6270. These roads trace the natural contours of the plateau, providing a structural view of land use and navigation across the Navajo Nation as it appeared in the early 21st century.
