About this map

Hauke Mesa and its surrounding high-desert plateaus define this region within the Fort Defiance Agency. The landscape is marked by a series of prominent elevations, including Horse Butte, Betony Butte, and Bell Butte, which rise sharply from the basin floor. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain where water sources are vital but sparse, documented through several named springs such as Horse Spring, Bell Butte Spring, and Shanetot Spring.

Drainage systems like Ha-whi-yalin Wash and Lukai Wash provide natural corridors through the mesas, while Betony Reservoir indicates a localized effort to capture seasonal runoff. Transportation is limited to a network of established routes, notably Indian Rte 9062 and Indian Rte 9757, which navigate the base of landmarks like Cave Mtn. The map preserves the specific Navajo Nation land management boundaries across Townships 24 through 26 North, reflecting the contemporary geography of this part of Navajo County.
