2018 Map of Coal Mine Mesa

About this map

Coal Mine Mesa dominates this Coconino County landscape, rising between the Moenkopi Plateau to the southwest and the eastern edges of Howell Mesa. This 2018 survey illustrates a high-desert environment where transportation is defined by a sparse network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Indian Rte 6032 and Indian Rte 6033, which navigate the tablelands. The topography is sharply defined by the dramatic descent into Ha Ho No Geh Canyon in the northeast and the prominent landmark of Blue Point. The arrangement of these roads suggests a landscape managed for movement across the mesas rather than dense settlement, preserving the character of the traditional tribal lands within the modern public land survey system.
