About this map

Antelope Mesa and the surrounding desert landscape dominate this Navajo County survey, centered on the vital water sources that sustained early inhabitants. The settlement of Kawaika-A occupies a prominent position in the northern reaches, while the terrain is etched by the winding course of the Jeddito Wash. This environment is defined by its strategic springs, including Jeddito Spring and Sand Spring, which provided essential resources in a land of dramatic topographical shifts.

A network of tribal and local routes, such as Skunk Spring Rd and Indian Rte 60, illustrates the modern connectivity of this region. To the south, the solitary prominence of Stephen Butte serves as a landmark above the high desert floor. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range divisions, documenting the land use patterns and remote desert geography of the Fort Defiance Agency region.
