2021 Map of Chimney Butte

About this map

Chimney Butte and its namesake Chimney Butte Spring anchor this landscape in Navajo County, defined by prominent volcanic remnants and seasonal water sources. The terrain is characterized by a series of isolated elevations, including Pyramid Butte, Castle Butte, and Red Cheek Butte, which served as essential navigational landmarks. A complex network of roads, such as Indian Rte 15 and Old Rte 15, weaves between these geological features, following the natural contours of the land. The presence of Chandler Springs, Coyote Spring, and Red-Cheek Spring suggests the vital importance of reliable water in this arid environment. Low-lying drainage patterns like Johns Draw and Coyote Wash further illustrate the hydrology of the region, marking the paths where water moves across the plateau during periods of runoff.
