2018 Map of Monument Point

About this map

Garces Mesas dominates the northern horizon of this Coconino County terrain, where high-desert plateaus are carved by intricate drainages. The landscape is defined by the dramatic escarpments of Monument Point and the adjacent Kachina Points, features that emphasize the elevation changes characteristic of this region. Navigation through the area relies on a sparse network of service roads, primarily Indian Rte 6720 and Indian Rte 6730, which traverse the lower plains and skirt the base of the major mesas. This 2018 survey illustrates a remote landscape where the natural topography remains the primary influence on movement and land division. The detailed contour work reveals the complex erosional patterns that have shaped these landforms over millennia, providing a clear picture of the physical geography before any significant modern development.
