2011 Map of Chaiyahi Rim SE

About this map

Navajo Creek and its complex network of tributaries define this section of Coconino County, characterized by a high concentration of drainage systems cutting through the arid landscape. The area is marked by a series of distinct canyon formations, including Forty Caves Canyon and the curiously named Pyramid Canyon in the north, which give way to Peach Canyon and Ségito Canyon. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the water of Navajo Creek is fed by several smaller branches such as Sand Canyon, Far End Canyon, and Black Sage Canyon. This 2011 survey documents a territory defined almost entirely by its geological features, showing a landscape without permanent settlements or road infrastructure, where the natural watercourses and the Chaiyahi Creek dictate the local geography.
