2014 Map of Chaiyahi Rim NE

About this map

The Navajo Mountain Mission stands as a focal point in this high-elevation corner of Coconino County, situated within a landscape defined by deep drainages and volcanic remnants. The terrain is dominated by the massive profile of Navajo Mtn in the northwest and the prominent escarpment of the Chaiyahi Rim to the south. This remote network of canyons and plateaus is carved by ephemeral watercourses including Jackrabbit Fork, Tin Can Wash, and the uniquely named Trampled Water Canyon. Access to this high-country mission is facilitated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs routes Bia-161 and Bia-16, alongside Piute Creek Rd. The mapping of Chaiyahi Cr at the southern edge of the rim illustrates the significant topographical relief that characterizes this section of the Arizona landscape during the early 21st century.
