2014 Map of Moenave

About this map

Moenave and the western edge of Tuba City anchor this high-desert landscape in northern Arizona. The topography is defined by significant relief, featuring the prominent Tuba Butte and the flat-topped Mori Mesa. Between these heights, Moenave Canyon cuts through the terrain, sheltering the Cliff Spring. The map documents a sparse but vital network of infrastructure, from the historic Tuba City-Gap Trl to modern connectors like Navajo Blvd. Scattered water sources such as Cattail Spring and Mesa Spring indicate the critical role of hydrology in this arid region. The presence of Flat Rock and various Bureau of Indian Affairs routes like Bia-1012 further underscores the unique land management and navigational patterns of the Painted Desert region during this era.
