2014 Map of Cove

About this map

Cove lies at the transition between the high, structured peaks of the Chuska Mountains and the lower basin topography of northeastern Arizona. This 2014 survey captures a landscape defined by seasonal water drainage and traditional Navajo Nation settlement patterns, including Yazzi and Red Rock Valley. The map detail follows the path of Cove Wash as it flows eastward through the valley floor, while higher elevations to the south reach into the Lukachukai Mountains. Topographic features like the Royal Arch and View Point illustrate the geological complexity of the area, providing clear landmarks for navigation. Local water resources are identified through sites like Cottonwood Spring and Pine Water Spring, which have historically supported livestock and community life in this arid environment. Bureau of Indian Affairs routes such as Bia-33 and Bia-332 provide the primary infrastructure connecting these remote ranching and residential areas.
