About this map

Navajo Indian Reservation lands in northern Arizona define this landscape of deep, intricate drainages and high plateaus. The 1970 field check recorded a complex network of seasonal watercourses and topographic landmarks, including the notable Cliff Dwelling sites tucked into the walls of Forty Caves Canyon. The terrain transitions from the broad Gray Mesa in the southwest toward the jagged reaches of Pyramid Canyon and Segito Canyon in the north. Movement through this high desert environment is marked by a traditional Pack Trail that connects remote springs and follows the natural contours of the land. The presence of several named Spring locations and Sand Creek emphasizes the importance of water sources within this arid canyon system, where the hydrology of Navajo Creek and its many tributaries has carved out a labyrinthine geography.
