2021 Map of Blue Gap

About this map

Blue Gap and Tahchee anchor this desert landscape within the Navajo Nation, where the settlement pattern follows a network of tribal and local routes. The terrain is defined by a series of drainage systems, most notably Polacca Wash and its tributaries, which carve through the high-elevation plateaus. The placement of Tah Chee Wash and Ramhead Wash illustrates the hydrological movement across this arid region, while the presence of Taasahdi Dzil and Aspen Wash provides critical topographic orientation.
