2018 Map of Cedar Ridge

About this map

Cedar Ridge sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Coconino County, serving as a primary point of human activity along the corridor that cuts between the Echo Cliffs and the Kaibito Plateau. The terrain is defined by a series of dramatic geological rises, including Limestone Ridge and Black Rock Ridge, which influence the drainage patterns of ephemeral watercourses like Shinumo Wash and Tanner Wash. Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by the presence of Eagle Nest Reservoir and First Reservoir, critical infrastructure for the ranching or local communities in the area. Further south, the map reveals Cornfield Valley, a name suggesting the historical or ongoing agricultural importance of the lowlands sheltered by the surrounding plateaus and the Cedar Tree Hills. The road network, including Indian Rte 6110, highlights the connectivity within this portion of the Navajo Nation.
