2017 Map of Jacobs Monument

About this map

Jacobs Monument rises from the high desert floor near the border of Utah and Arizona, serving as a prominent landmark in this transition between San Juan County and Navajo County. The landscape is dominated by massive elevated formations, including Nokai Mesa in the west and Pickrell Mesa and Hoskinnini Mesa to the east. The drainage system is anchored by the complex network of Copper Canyon, which splits into the West Fork and East Fork, carrying seasonal runoff through the canyons. The geography is punctuated by traditional names such as Tse-dahascani, reflecting the cultural heritage of the Navajo Nation. Minimal road access via routes like Sjc Rd 423 underscores the isolation of these plateaus and canyons, where the terrain remains largely defined by natural watercourses like W Copper Cr and E Copper Cr.
