2021 Map of Dead Monkey Ridge

About this map

Dead Monkey Ridge serves as the central landform in this high-desert region of Coconino County, characterized by significant geological transitions between mesas and ridges. The terrain is marked by the prominence of Red Mesa in the north and the distinct arc of Circular White Ridge to the southeast, illustrating the complex erosion patterns typical of the Arizona landscape. Infrastructure in this area is primarily comprised of a network of tribal routes, including Indian Rte 20, which traverses the central corridor, and Indian Rte 6211 in the northwest. These roads suggest a pattern of seasonal access or ranching use rather than dense residential development. The southern edge of the quadrangle is defined by the Mormon Ridges, while modern residential connectivity is indicated by the presence of S Grandview Dr near the eastern boundary.
