2010 Map of Mesa Gigante

About this map

Mesa Gigante dominates this high-desert landscape in the Eastern Navajo Agency during the early 21st century, defined by a complex network of drainage systems and isolated landmarks. The map documents the arid geography where Arroyo Gigante and Bell Rock Arroyo carve through the terrain, punctuated by geological features like Bell Rock and Chimney Rock. Human presence is sparse but specific, marked by the Harrington Windmill and the Chavez Deposit near the eastern edge. Local infrastructure relies on primitive routes such as Mesa Rd and Road 7036, which navigate around the steep mesas and through seasonal watercourses like Cañada de los Alamos. This topographic study provides a clear view of water resource management and land use in a region where named water sources like Alamos Spring are essential points of reference.
