2014 Map of Marsh Pass

About this map

Marsh Pass serves as a critical geographic gateway in this high-desert landscape, where Us-160 follows the natural corridor of Long House Valley. The small settlement of Tsegi sits at the junction of several massive landforms, most notably the towering Skeleton Mesa to the north and the complex drainage system of Tsegi Canyon. This 2014 survey captures the intricate topographical relief of the region, including the winding path of Laguna Creek as it passes beneath sandstone formations. Numerous named canyons, such as Wildcat Canyon, Cobra Head Canyon, and Lone Cottonwood Canyon, branch away from the main valley, illustrating the deeply eroded plateau geography of the Navajo Nation. The map also delineates tribal road networks, including Bia-6486 and Bia-6248, which provide access to the high elevations and remote drainages like Dowozhiebito Canyon and House Canyon.
