About this map

Bodaway Mesa and the surrounding high desert of Coconino County are defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and prominent geological elevations. The topography is dominated by several named peaks including the Yon Dot Mountains, Sheep Mtn, and High Point Mtn, which provide critical vantage points across the landscape. The passage through Tolchaco Gap serves as a natural corridor between the mesa and the neighboring Billy Goat Knolls.

Water management in this arid environment is evident through several localized catchments such as Hole Reservoir, Pine Tree Reservoir, and Bodaway Water. The map also details the paths of major ephemeral watercourses like Hamblin Wash, Billy Goat Wash, and Sheep Wash. Remote access to these features is facilitated by tribal roads, specifically Indian Rte 6130 and Indian Rte 6131, which connect the scattered natural landmarks across the western Navajo Nation.
