2014 Map of Cliff Rose Hill

About this map

Potato Garden Valley and Dipping Bucket Valley sit at the heart of this high-desert landscape within the Chinle Agency. The map reveals a region defined by seasonal watercourses and distinctive topographical names that reflect local land use, such as Resting Cattle Valley and Crows Nest Valley. Human infrastructure is sparse, concentrated around the Peabody Coal Access Rd and Bia-8034, highlighting the importance of specialized transit routes in this part of Arizona. The presence of Forest Lake and Gambler Lake provide rare hydrologic markers in a terrain dominated by drainage features like Mesa Trail Wash and Yellow Jacket Wash. This 2014 survey documents the enduring spatial arrangement of traditional grazing areas and modern industrial access roads on the Navajo Nation.
