2014 Map of French Butte

About this map

Dilkon serves as the primary settlement on this high-desert landscape, situated near the northern edge of the quadrangle. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent volcanic landforms, including Wide Butte, Haystack Butte, and the namesake French Butte to the south. These landmarks rise sharply from the basin, providing essential geographic markers for travelers and residents. The drainage patterns of Coyote Wash and Sunflower Butte Wash indicate the seasonal water flow that shapes the arid environment, while isolated water sources like Echo Spring and Tode Bito Tsiquini represent critical points of interest in this portion of the Navajo Nation. The road network, primarily composed of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes like Bia-60, connects the scattered geological features and localized springs across the plateau.
