2021 Map of Lower Wheatfields

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Canyon de Chelly National Monument dominates the southwestern corner of this landscape, where the dramatic depths of Canyon de Chelly carve through the high terrain of the Defiance Plateau. This modern survey illustrates the proximity of the Navajo Nation communities of Wheatfields and Lower Wheatfields to these sacred geological formations. The area's water resources are clearly delineated, showing a network of mountain drainages including Wheatfields Cr, Whiskey Cr, and Palisade Cr that descend from the higher elevations. Settlement patterns follow the corridors of Indian Rte 12 and Lower Wheatfields Rd, connecting small residential clusters with critical local water sources like Turkey Reservoir and the uniquely named Black Pinnacle Spring. The map provides a contemporary record of land use where the plateau's surface meets the steep canyon rims.
