2021 Map of Mitten Peak

About this map

Mitten Peak stands as a prominent landmark in this desert landscape of Navajo County, rising above the surrounding terrain within the boundaries of the Navajo Res Boundary. The drainage patterns of the high desert are clearly defined here, centered on the broad course of Leroux Wash which cuts through the southern portion of the quadrangle. Local routes such as Navajo Svc Rte 6 and Indian Rte 9860 provide the primary infrastructure through this open country, illustrating the modern transportation network within the reservation. The presence of Salt Seeps near Salt Sap Rd in the north suggests natural mineral springs that have long influenced movement and land use in this arid region, providing a specific point of interest for those studying the physical geography of the Colorado Plateau.
