About this map

Dilkon serves as the primary hub for this high-desert region of the Navajo Nation, situated at the base of Dilkon Hill. The landscape is defined by its widely dispersed water sources and prominent geological markers that have likely served as navigational waypoints for generations. To the northwest, Cedar Springs and Lone Cottonwood Spring mark vital points on the map, while Tees Toh Spring provides a northern anchor.

A network of tribal routes, including Indian Rte 15 and Indian Rte 60, connects the scattered settlements and terrain features. The survey highlights several notable peaks such as Turquoise Butte, Yellow Butte, and Twin Buttes, which rise above the surrounding terrain near Eagle Nest Point. This layout illustrates a community where modern infrastructure follows established paths between historical watering holes and unmistakable landmarks.
