2014 Map of Lamb Well

About this map

Jeddito Wash winds diagonally through this high-desert landscape, tracing the topographic shifts between Antelope Mesa and the surrounding canyon country. The map documents a sparsely populated region defined by traditional Navajo and Hopi settlement patterns, centered around the community of Jeddito in the southwest and the historic enclave of Kearms Canyon in the northwest. Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, such as Bia-9110 and Bia-9101, serve as the primary lifelines through the drainage basins. Cultural landmarks like Kokopnyama and the eponymous Lamb Well reflect the area's deep ties to the land and the critical importance of water sources. The transition from the flat tablelands of the mesa to the intricate gullies of the wash illustrates the geographic challenges of the Colorado Plateau in the early 21st century.
