2011 Map of Jacobs Monument

About this map

Jacobs Monument stands as a primary landmark in this remote corner of Navajo County, Arizona, near the Utah border. This area within the Navajo Nation is characterized by significant topographical landforms and seasonal drainages, most notably the West Fork and East Fork Copper Canyon. The landscape is largely defined by high mesas and buttes, including Pickrell Mesa and the distinctively named Tse-dahascani. Transportation across this arid environment is limited to unpaved routes like Piaute Farms Rd and Indian Rte 5325, reflecting the sparse settlement and focus on grazing or transit. The naming conventions preserved on the map highlight the cultural and geographical significance of the region's rock formations and canyon systems.
