2011 Map of Mexican Cry Mesa

About this map

Mexican Cry Mesa and the rugged northern reaches of the Chuska Mountains define this high-desert landscape in Apache County. The map documents a territory where geological landmarks and seasonal water sources like White Hair Spring and Cow Spring have long served as vital orienting points. Named mesas and points, including Massacre Point and Rescue Rock Mesa, suggest a history etched into the land itself. The drainage patterns of Hasbidito Creek and Cove Wash carve through the terrain, connecting high features such as White Ash Peak to the deep recesses of Tzelena Canyon and Eagle Nest Canyon. This survey captures the topographical complexity of the Lukachukai Mountains boundary, showing a network of tracks and terrain features like Two Red Rocks and Female Rock that remain significant for navigation and land management within the Shiprock Agency region.
