About this map

The Little Colorado River winds through the high desert landscape of Coconino County, anchoring the southern portion of this northern Arizona survey. The settlement of Cameron sits at the river's bend, where local travel routes meet the water's edge. To the north and west, the terrain is defined by prominent volcanic features, including the distinct peak of Shadow Mountain and the dark elevation of Black Knob.

Ephemeral drainages such as Moenkopi Wash, Fivemile Wash, and Tappan Wash create a complex network of dry streambeds that feed into the main river corridor during seasonal rains. The presence of Navajo Reservation Rd provides access across this arid expanse, passing through areas like Tappan Spring Canyon. This map captures the intersection of critical water sources and transportation paths in a region where geography dictates the placement of communities like Cameron.
