About this map

Red Valley and the surrounding high desert terrain characterize this landscape along the Arizona-New Mexico border within the Navajo Nation. The central feature is Buell Park, a volcanic depression bounded by Buell Mountain and Peridot Ridge. The settlement of Navajo is situated in the southeastern portion of the map, adjacent to the prominent peaks of Zilditloi Mountain and the Chuska Mountains.

Water management and natural drainage are evident through Red Lake, controlled by Red Lake Dam, and the seasonal flow of Black Creek and Tohdildonih Wash. The infrastructure consists primarily of tribal service routes, including Indian Service Route 12, which provides access between the various mesas and valleys. Distinctive geological landmarks like Frog Rock and Green Knobs serve as natural navigation points across this high-altitude plateau.
