About this map

Lukachukai sits at the base of the high country in northern Apache County, serving as the focal point of a landscape defined by the towering Chuska Mountains and Lukachukai Mountains. This 2014 survey documents the complex network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Bia-12 and Bia-132, that connect the settlement to the high-elevation plateaus. The terrain is marked by significant topographical shifts, rising toward the notable crossing at Buffalo Pass.

Water sources are critical markers in this arid environment, with the map identifying perennial features like Big Lake and Aspen Spring alongside ephemeral drainages such as Tohotso Cr, Lizard Wash, and Greasewood Wash. The presence of named points like Wild Geese Nest Spring indicates the localized importance of specific water locations for both travel and land use within the tribal agency lands.
