2021 Map of Black Mesa Wash NE

About this map

Black Mesa Wash winds through the high-elevation landscape of Navajo County, defining the drainage patterns of this arid plateau. This 2021 topographic survey captures a territory largely devoid of modern development, instead emphasizing the natural hydrography and elevation contours that have long dictated human movement and settlement in the region. To the north, Sand Spring and Peach Spring represent critical water sources in a complex terrain of mesas and drainages. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the broad course of Moenkopi Wash, a significant tributary system. The map provides a precise layout of the Public Land Survey System, including t36n r16e and t34n r17e, which are essential for researchers tracing property boundaries or grazing allotments across this section of the Arizona landscape.
