2014 Map of Mitten Peak

About this map

Mitten Peak rises above the high desert floor, serving as a prominent landmark in this 2014 survey of northeastern Arizona. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Leroux Wash, which cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle. Transport through this high-plateau environment is primarily facilitated by the North-South corridor of Az-77 and a network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Bia-6 and Bia-9860. A notable hydrological feature, Salt Seeps, appears in the northern reaches, indicating the presence of mineralized springs. The map detail reflects a sparsely populated region within the Fort Defiance Agency, characterized by open space and limited infrastructure, largely organized by the Public Land Survey System boundaries of t21n r21e and its neighboring townships.
