2018 Map of East of Kinlichee

About this map

Defiance Plateau dominates the high-altitude topography of this landscape in Apache County, where complex drainage systems like Kinlichee Cr and Burnt Piñon Wash carve through the arid terrain. The map captures a moment in the modern era of the Fort Defiance Agency, showing the network of local transport routes including Claw Cook Rd and Bear Canyon Rd as they traverse the high desert. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the landscape opens into the Wide Ruin Valley, defined by the meandering path of Wide Ruin Wash. This survey provides a precise look at the land partitions of T27N R28E and surrounding townships, illustrating the intersection of natural hydrology and established tribal and administrative boundaries.
