2011 Map of Montezumas Chair

About this map

Montezumas Chair rises as a prominent landmark in this high-desert portion of the Navajo Nation within Navajo County. The landscape is defined by its sparse but critical water sources, including Honey Spring in the northeast and the centrally located Little Water. This modern topographic survey illustrates the enduring importance of tribal infrastructure, specifically the network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes like Indian Rte-9901 and Indian Rte-6820 that facilitate movement across the arid plateau. The drainages and seasonal watercourses shown here underscore the geographic challenges of the region, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns that surround the distinctive landform of the quadrangle's namesake.
