2011 Map of French Butte

About this map

French Butte and the surrounding high desert plateau dominate this 2011 survey, where the landscape is defined by its distinct volcanic and sedimentary formations. The terrain is marked by prominent landmarks such as Echo Spring Mountain and Castle Butte, which rise sharply from the basin floor. Local hydrography is characterized by seasonal water features like Tode Bahoz Tsiquiri and Toh Cathlie Cod, reflecting the arid environment of this region. Connectivity through this part of the Navajo Nation is maintained by the primary arteries of Indian Rte 60 and Indian Rte 9857, which navigate the complex topography between named heights like Chezhin Chotah Butte and Haystack Butte. This map provides a detailed view of the remote road network and traditional place names essential for navigating this high-elevation landscape.
