2018 Map of Na Ah Tee Canyon

About this map

Na Ah Tee sits within a landscape defined by an intricate network of desert water sources and dramatic landforms in this modern survey of the Navajo Nation. The topography is shaped by the Hopi Buttes and the prominence of Gray Mesa and Flat Mesa, while the drainage systems of Coyote Wash and Gleshbito Wash carve through the high desert floor. Local hydrology is remarkably detailed, noting specific desert springs and catchments such as Crazy Water Spring, Clay Spring, and the uniquely named Doh Halian. Transportation in this part of Navajo County is represented by a web of tribal routes, including Indian Rte 9065 and Indian Rte 9813, which provide the primary access to the isolated settlement at Na Ah Tee and the surrounding high country points like Up Rock Point.
