2014 Map of East of the Navajo

About this map

Kaiparowits Plateau dominates this high-altitude landscape in Kane County, where complex drainage systems have carved deep into the desert floor. The map highlights the sharp transitions between the elevated Fiftymile Mountain and the deep incisions of Navajo Canyon and Croton Canyon. This 2014 survey documents a land defined by dramatic verticality, from the high ridges at West End Point to the lower reaches of Little Valley. To the west, the Burning Hills mark a distinct geomorphological zone. The intricate network of seasonal watercourses, including Monday Canyon and Rogers Canyon, illustrates the erosional forces that have shaped this portion of the East of the Navajo quadrangle. The absence of modern infrastructure underscores the area’s preservation as a wilderness of remarkable geological complexity.
