2014 Map of Ganado Mesa SW

About this map

Burnside serves as a primary point of reference in this high-desert landscape of the Navajo Nation during the early twenty-first century. Located at the intersection of Us-191 and Az-264, the area illustrates a modern transportation network superimposed over traditional land divisions. The terrain is defined by drainage systems like Bi-Keesh Wash and relatively level expanses such as Snake Flat, showing the importance of topographic features in an arid environment. Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Bia-25 and Bia-15, crisscross the townships of T28N R25E and T27N R25E, providing essential access to this part of the Fort Defiance Agency. The 20-foot contour intervals reveal the subtle rises and depressions that characterize the mesa's southwest approach, offering researchers a precise look at the land's form and infrastructure at this moment in 2014.
