2011 Map of Giants Chair

About this map

Giants Chair stands as a prominent geological landmark in this part of Navajo County, defining a landscape marked by intermittent water sources and high-desert navigation routes. The area is characterized by several critical watering points, including Little Burro Spring, Rock Ledge Spring, and Coyote Spring, which historically supported movement across the northern Arizona plateau. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a network of local roads and unimproved paths that converge near these springs, reflecting the ongoing importance of water access in this arid region. The topography revealed here emphasizes the isolation and specific landforms of the high desert, providing a precise look at the drainage patterns and natural landmarks that orient travelers and residents alike in the Navajo Nation territory.
