2018 Map of Middle Mesa

About this map

Moenkopi Plateau and the deeply incised drainage of Coal Mine Canyon dominate this high-desert landscape in Coconino County. The map documents a territory defined by its water sources and rugged relief, where the ephemeral Greasewood Lake sits in the west and named seeps like Lechee Da Si Kaid Spring and Juanita Begay Spring provide critical points of reference in an arid environment. The presence of the Navajo Trl cutting diagonally across the plateau suggests established movement corridors through the high country. In the south, the terrain falls away toward the Moenkopi Wash and the complex canyon systems of Ha Ho No Geh Canyon and Begashibito Canyon, illustrating the intense erosion patterns characteristic of this region's geology. Small isolated features like Lice Hill and Mid Mesa serve as distinct navigational landmarks against the broader plateau surface.
