2014 Map of Black Mesa Wash NE

About this map

Moenkopi Wash and the northern reaches of Black Mesa Wash define this high-altitude corner of Navajo County, where the desert landscape is punctuated by vital water sources. In a region of the Colorado Plateau known for its arid environment, features like Sand Spring and Peach Spring represent essential historical landmarks for navigation and survival. The map reveals a dramatic topography of eroding mesa edges and branching drainage patterns that flow toward the larger wash systems. Modern connectivity is provided by Us-160, which cuts across the northwestern corner of the sheet, while the underlying grid of the Public Land Survey System partitions the territory into townships like t35n r16e and t36n r17e.
