About this map

Cedar Springs and the surrounding high desert of the Navajo Nation are defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and vital water sources in this 2018 survey. The landscape is marked by prominent mesas and buttes, including Hauke Mesa in the north and the isolated Dilkon Hill to the south. Life in this arid region is centered around scattered springs such as Tsi Na Jinnie Spring, Tees Toh Spring, and Mountainside Spring, which have long served as essential landmarks for movement across the terrain.

Transportation is facilitated by an extensive system of tribal routes, notably Indian Rte 15 and Indian Rte 601, which navigate the path between features like Lone Cottonwood Butte and Turquoise Butte. The drainage patterns of Tees Toh Wash and Coyote Wash illustrate the hydrological character of the Fort Defiance Agency, where water flow is intermittent but shapes the placement of local settlements and livestock ranges.
