1972 Map of Chinde Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Chinde Mesa anchors this high-desert landscape in northern Arizona, marking a significant transition between distinct administrative territories. The southern portion of the quadrangle is occupied by Petrified Forest National Park, which includes the designated Petrified Forest Wilderness. This protected area meets the Navajo Indian Reservation along a defined boundary that runs east to west across the center of the sheet. The drainage patterns are a defining characteristic of this arid environment, with the Wide Ruin Wash and Leroux Wash cutting through the terrain. The presence of Lithodendron Wash and Digger Wash further illustrates the complex hydrological network of the Painted Desert region, where seasonal water flow has shaped the colorful geologic formations.
