2014 Map of Explosive Rock

About this map

Echo Cliffs dominate the northwestern corner of this Coconino County terrain, where the high desert landscape is defined by massive mesas and distinctive geological formations. This 2014 survey captures a sparsely populated region of northern Arizona where infrastructure is limited to the corridor of Us-89 and remote routes like Bia-6210. The map illustrates a high-altitude plateau characterized by significant landmarks such as Explosive Rock, White Rock, and White Mesa. The presence of Red Mesa Reservoir in the south, positioned near Red Mesa, indicates the critical role of water management in this arid environment. Other drainages including Fall Cr cut through the elevation, while Little Valley provides a break in the surrounding verticality, showcasing the complex topography of the Navajo Nation boundary lands.
