2011 Map of Mitten Peak

About this map

Mitten Peak stands as the primary topographical landmark in this high-desert region of the Navajo Nation near the border of Apache and Navajo counties. The landscape is defined by the intermittent drainage of Leroux Wash, which cuts across the southeast, and the subtle water sources at Salt Seeps to the northwest. This 2011 survey illustrates the sparse but essential transportation network across the Fort Defiance Agency territory, notably Indian Rte 9860 and Indian Rte 9088. The map documents a rugged, arid environment where seasonal water flows and isolated peaks dictate the movement of people and livestock, providing a clear record of modern tribal lands before further infrastructure development.
