2014 Map of Kinlichee

About this map

Kinlichee serves as a focal point in this high-desert landscape, situated where Kinlichee Cr cuts through the terrain of Apache County. The map details a complex network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Bia-39 and Bia-9301, which navigate the drainages and high points of the region. Notable landmarks such as Choyojidolid Hill and the broad Pueblo Colorado Valley characterize the topography, while smaller hydrological features like Be-te-kini Spring and Lone Tule Wash provide evidence of water sources essential for life in this arid environment. The presence of Cross Canyon and its associated Cross Canyon Rd indicates a long-standing pattern of movement through these natural corridors. This modern survey by the U.S. Geological Survey effectively documents the convergence of indigenous infrastructure and the natural desert basin system within the Fort Defiance Agency area.
