2018 Map of Dancing Rocks

About this map

Chinle Valley is the central topographical focus of this Arizona landscape, characterized by the wide drainage of Chinle Wash. The area is dominated by striking geological formations, most notably the eponymous Dancing Rocks and the prominent Hat Rock. The terrain transitions from the broad valley floors into elevated features such as Carson Mesa to the southwest, with drainage provided by the seasonal courses of Lukachukai Creek and Hasbidito Cr. A network of tribal routes, including Indian Rte 8009 and Indian Rte 35, provide the primary access through this remote portion of Apache County. The map details the specific township and range boundaries that define the local land administration within the Navajo Nation.
