2021 Map of Hole In Rock Valley

About this map

Hole in Rock Valley characterizes this high-desert landscape in northeastern Arizona, where a complex network of ephemeral drainage systems carves through the Navajo County terrain. The northern reaches are defined by the Celebration Wash and the West Fork Oraibi Wash, while the southern portion transitions into the deeper recesses of Devils Canyon and the Wepo Valley. The names themselves tell a story of the difficulties and small reliefs found in this environment, from the aptly named Pain in the Back Canyon and Alkali Valley to the shelter suggested by Aspen Grove Wash. Infrastructure is minimal, limited largely to Indian Rte 8066 and its local connectors, reflecting a remote area where the land's natural contours and watercourses remain the primary landmarks for navigation and land use.
