2011 Map of Lee Mountain

About this map

Lee Mountain and the broad expanse of Marcou Mesa anchor this Navajo County landscape, defined by an intricate network of desert drainage systems in the early 21st century. The map illustrates a dryland environment where water management is central to the land's utility, marked by scattered water features such as Badland Tank, Baldwin Tank, and the Lee Mountain Tanks. These human-made catchments, alongside the V K Windmill, support activity across a terrain carved by substantial seasonal channels including Joseph City Wash, Billy Wash, and Tanner Wash. In the southeastern corner, the wide bed of Leroux Wash cuts across the plains, showing the natural erosion patterns typical of this high desert region. The absence of dense settlements highlights the area's primary use for ranching or resource management, providing a clear record of land use and topographical detail in this part of northeastern Arizona.
