About this map

Chaiyahi Flat and the surrounding high desert of northern Coconino County are defined by a complex network of canyons and ancient geological formations. This 2014 survey captures a landscape of intense vertical relief, where drainage from Aztec Cr and Jayi Canyon carves through the sandstone. Notable landmarks such as Quick Arch and the poetic Arch in the Sky highlight the erosional features of the region, while named elevations like Navajo Mtn and Haystack Rock serve as primary navigational points in this unpopulated expanse.

The layout of Chaiyahi Rim and the unique depression known as The Kettle suggest a terrain where water movement and wind have shaped a distinctive local geography. Other prominent features include Balanced Rock Mesa and Round Rock, which along with Black Brush Flat, characterize the varied surface of the Colorado Plateau. The map provides precise documentation of this remote area, including deep-cut passages like Trampled Water Canyon and Tsagieto Canyon.
