About this map

Giants Chair stands as a prominent landmark in this high-desert reach of Navajo County, rising above a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses and essential watering holes. The drainage of Polacca Wash cuts through the southwestern corner of the quadrangle, serving as a primary hydrologic feature for the region. The map reveals a network of vital water sources, including Little Burro Spring, Rock Ledge Spring, and Coyote Spring, which historically dictated movement and settlement patterns in this arid environment.

Transportation through the territory is facilitated by established routes such as Indian Rte 18 and Indian Rte 15, connecting this remote area to broader Navajo Nation hubs. These roads follow the natural contours of the land, weaving between the mesas and washes that characterize the northern Arizona topography. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and natural landmarks central to life in this portion of the Hopi and Navajo lands.
