2011 Map of Little Black Spot Mountain

About this map

Little Black Spot Mountain rises above a high-desert landscape defined by vital water sources and a complex network of local routes in the early 21st century. The density of named springs, such as Togoholtsoe Spring, Crooked Finger Spring, and Hastin Akahibito, indicates the essential nature of these water points for livestock and local inhabitants in this arid Navajo County region. The terrain is notably marked by the Cliff Edge in the north and the settlement area of Chilchinbeto to the west. Transportation through this part of the Navajo Nation is facilitated by a web of unpaved and primitive roads, including Indian Rte-4 and Indian Rte-8084, which connect scattered homesteads and traditional grazing lands. This map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure and natural resources critical to the pastoral and community life of the area.
