About this map

Cow Butte stands as a prominent topographical landmark in this northeastern corner of Arizona, located within Apache County near the state line. The landscape is defined by a network of seasonal drainages, including the prominent Toh Dahstini Wash and the smaller Tso Tsosie Wash. A significant water source, Toh Dahstini Spring, is found central to the area, indicating its importance in an otherwise arid environment.

Transport through this part of the Shiprock Agency relies on a grid of indigenous and county routes, such as Indian Rte 5060 and Co Rte 473. These roads follow the natural contours between Dry Farm Wash and Tsitah Wash, providing access across several townships including t41n r29e and t42n r30e. The map illustrates a contemporary view of traditional Navajo lands where water features and relief define the settlement patterns.
