About this map

Navajo Canyon and its complex system of tributaries dominate this corner of the Colorado Plateau in Coconino County. The landscape is a network of deep drainage systems, including the uniquely named Forty Caves Canyon and the winding Segito Canyon. These geological features reflect the erosive power of seasonal waterways like Chaiyahi Cr and Navajo Cr as they carve through the high desert.

Gray Mesa provides a prominent upland landmark amidst the intersecting corridors of Pyramid Canyon and Long Canyon. The survey illustrates the sheer verticality of the region, from the depths of Far End Canyon to the reaches of Black Sage Canyon. This specific environment showcases the isolation and scale of northern Arizona's canyon country before the era of modern development, preserved here as a study in landform and natural boundaries.
