1985 Map of Explosive Rock

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Explosive Rock rises as a prominent landmark within the Navajo Indian Reservation, anchoring a landscape characterized by dramatic geological formations and deep cultural geography. The terrain is defined by the sharp verticality of the Echo Cliffs to the west, which give way to a series of mesas and hills such as White Mesa, White Hill, and Gray Hill. The naming conventions across this high desert region reflect a mix of descriptive English and indigenous identifiers, notably Tsin Yaa Ninti and the expansive White Plateau. Water, though sparse, is marked by the course of Little Valley Creek at the base of the cliffs. This 1985 provisional study captures the area's intricate network of unimproved roads and trails, including the route through Cedar Pass, illustrating the enduring transit patterns across this part of Coconino County before modern infrastructure further altered the high plateau.
