2021 Map of Cove

About this map

Cove and Yazzi occupy the valley floor of this high-desert landscape in Apache County, where the desert flats meet the rising slopes of the Lukachukai Mountains. The area is defined by a network of drainage washes, including Boiling Over Wash and the extensive Cove Wash, which carve through the terrain beneath the Chuska Mountains. Significant water sources like Cottonwood Spring and Pine Water Spring are vital markers in this arid environment, supporting the small settlements and local transport routes such as Indian Rte 33. The geography transitions from the open spaces of Red Rock Valley to high-elevation features like the Royal Arch and a designated View Point, illustrating the localized movement between seasonal water sources and the sheltering mountain ranges.
