About this map

Joseph City serves as the central hub of this Navajo County landscape, situated along the perennial path of the Little Colorado River. The town's grid is clearly defined by historical thoroughfares like Main ST, Bushman Ave, and Tanner Ave, while the nearby Joseph City Cem provides a focal point for genealogical interest. The surrounding high desert terrain is carved by numerous ephemeral drainages, including Manila Wash, Joseph City Wash, and Mesa Wash, which converge toward the river valley.

Further east, the settlement of Penzance and the waters of Cholla Lake mark the industrial and transit corridor. To the south, the name Obed Meadow along Obed Rd preserves the memory of the earlier Mormon settlement of Obed, established in the late 19th century. This area remains defined by its relationship to the water and the historical routes like Territorial Rd, which trace the evolution of travel in the Arizona territory.
