About this map

Canyon Diablo snakes through the high desert landscape of Coconino County, carving a deep path across a region defined by its arroyo systems and expansive plateaus. This 2014 survey captures the sparse settlement patterns along the southern edge of the Navajo Nation, where small community hubs like Canyon Diablo and Sunshine mark the intersection of traditional routes and modern infrastructure. The terrain is deeply textured by tributary drainages including Padre Canyon and Yellow Jacket Canyon, which feed into the primary gorge.

Transportation in this area is characterized by a network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, such as Bia-6930 and Bia-6931m, alongside the historic Canyon Diablo Rd. These roads provide vital links through the vast townships, illustrating the remote nature of this Northern Arizona territory. For those tracing the geography of the Little Colorado River valley, the map reveals the complex natural contours that have long influenced movement and habitation in this desert corridor.
