2011 Map of Garnet Ridge

About this map

Garnet Ridge and Comb Ridge dominate this corner of Apache County, where the topography is defined by the massive monoclines of the Colorado Plateau. The landscape is carved by seasonal drainages including Cane Valley Wash and Hosteen Tso Wash, which feed into Laguna Creek at the southern edge of the survey. Unlike more developed areas, this territory remains largely open, with transportation corridors limited to routes like Indian Rte 6440. The presence of the Round Top Mesa Campground near the intersection of the primary roadway indicates the area's role as a point of access for those navigating the wide expanse of Cane Valley. The map detail captures the remote character of the Navajo Nation's geography in the early twenty-first century.
