2011 Map of Kachina Point

About this map

Kachina Point stands as a prominent overlook in this high-desert landscape, defined by the winding course of Lithodendron Wash and a series of dramatic geographic points. The map documents a significant intersection of American travel history, showing the modern Interstate 40 corridor running parallel to the historic route of Old US Hwy 66. To the north, the terrain transitions into the Black Forest, a region marked by unique geological features like the Onyx Bridge. The survey illustrates how the Petrified Forest Hwy provides access to a sequence of scenic vistas including Pintado Point, Tawa Point, and Tiponi Point. This 2011 record is essential for understanding the infrastructure and natural landmarks of the Apache County desert, from the organized grid of Adamana Rd to the more primitive tracks of Washboard Rd and Stone Tree Rd.
