1985 Map of Cedar Tree Hills

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation landscape is defined by the striking descent of the Echo Cliffs, which separate the higher plateau from the broad drainage of Cornfield Valley. This 1985 survey, produced as a provisional map from late-1970s field data, captures a transition in topography where the Cedar Tree Hills rise above the surrounding terrain. Notable local landmarks like Whistling Curve and Wind Wash indicate the named geographical features used by those navigating this part of Coconino County. The presence of Locoweed Pond and the elevations marked at Porcupine Mesa provide specific points of reference for researchers and surveyors working within the reservation's high-desert environment during the late twentieth century.
