2011 Map of Cove

About this map

Cove and the settlement of Yazzi occupy a high-desert landscape defined by the intersection of mountain ranges and seasonal watercourses. Situated in the shadow of the Chuska Mountains and the Lukachukai Mountains, this area is crisscrossed by a network of local routes including Indian Rte-33 and Indian Rte-334. The topography is marked by significant landmarks like the Royal Arch and several critical water sources such as Cottonwood Spring and Pine Water Spring, which highlight the importance of localized hydrology in this arid region. The drainage patterns of Cove Wash and Standing Redrock Creek further illustrate the natural corridors that have influenced movement and settlement. A designated View Point overlooks the rugged transition between the mountain foothills and the wash basins, providing a spatial perspective on this part of the Shiprock Agency territory.
