About this map

Coyote Canyon anchors this high-desert landscape, where the intersection of Navajo Service Route 9 and several service roads provides access through a complex network of arroyos and canyons. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Dzil Nda Kai Mountain and Little Ear Mountain, which overlook a drainage system including Red-Willow Wash, Coyote Wash, and Figueredo Wash.

This 2010 survey details a region shaped by resource management and traditional land use within the Fort Defiance Agency. Notable infrastructure labels like the Kerr-McGee Rd and various Old B L M Rd segments point to the area's history of mineral exploration and land administration. Deep incisions in the landscape are recorded through features like Big Spring Canyon, Wild Berry Canyon, and Peach Spring Canyon, illustrating the erosive power of seasonal water across this arid New Mexico terrain.
