About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation spans the northern reaches of this territory, where the arid landscape is defined by the deep incision of the Little Colorado River. At the heart of the area, the Little Colorado River Gorge cuts through the desert floor, featuring a Gagng Station and a specific Gage Zero 3979 measurement point that reflects the hydrological importance of this river in the late 20th century. High elevations are dominated by the Coconino Rim and Gray Mountain, rising sharply above the basin.

Evidence of human movement and land use appears in the form of a Pack Trail winding through the hills and the Hopi Trail Can near the riverbanks. To the southwest, Mormon Tea Flat sits at the base of Side Mountain, while a lone Corral and a Gravel Pit suggest localized ranching and extraction. These features, along with scattered Check Dams, provide a record of how water management and topography shaped activity in this corner of Coconino County.
