2018 Map of Boot Mesa

About this map

Monument Valley and the high desert terrain of the Arizona-Utah border define this high-resolution survey. The landscape is dominated by massive geological formations including Boot Mesa, Azansosi Mesa, and the distinctive Hat Rock near the northeastern boundary. Water drainage patterns are clearly visible through the sprawling Oljato Wash, Narrow Canyon Wash, and El Capitan Wash, which cut through the El Capitan Flat. The map reveals a network of local transport routes named for families and landmarks, such as Sullivan Rd, Yellowhair Rd, and Daniels Rd. These roads, alongside the Old Mine Rd, point to a history of land use centered around ranching, mining, and the unique topography of the Navajo Nation. Notable landmarks like The Ramp provide specific orientation points within this complex basin-and-range environment.
