2018 Map of Canyon Diablo

About this map

Canyon Diablo cuts a deep, winding path through the high desert landscape of Coconino County, serving as the central geographic feature of this 2018 survey. The terrain is characterized by the confluence of major drainages, including the intersection of Yellow Jacket Canyon and Padre Canyon in the northwestern quadrant. These canyons create a complex relief across the plateau, dictating the placement of infrastructure in an otherwise sparse region. Settlement is concentrated at Sunshine, a point situated along the southern edge of the map. The human footprint here is primarily defined by a network of local transport routes, most notably Indian Rte 6930 and Indian Rte 6931, which navigate the tablelands between the steep canyon walls.
