2018 Map of Chaiyahi Rim SW

About this map

Gray Mesa dominates the southern portion of this high-desert landscape in Coconino County, rising above a network of deep drainages and geological landmarks. The terrain is defined by dramatic erosion, featuring the natural formation of Mikes Arch and the winding paths of Navajo Canyon, Jayii Canyon, and Long Canyon. Intermittent waterways including Chaiyahi Cr and Navajo Cr thread through the sandstone, while Trampled Water Canyon suggests the historic importance of seasonal water sources in this arid environment. Transportation across this section of the Navajo Nation is limited to remote tracks such as Navajo Canyon Rd and Rte 6330, reflecting the isolation of this high-altitude rim country in the early twenty-first century. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System divisions, from T40N R13E down through T39N R14E.
