2017 Map of Navajo Begay

About this map

Navajo Mountain dominates this landscape on the border of Utah and Arizona, a region defined by high plateaus and deep drainage systems. The small settlement of Navajo Begay and the Navajo Mountain Airport indicate the modern infrastructure serving this remote section of the Navajo Nation. Geologically, the terrain transitions from the wide Rainbow Plateau in the northwest to intricate canyon networks including Desha Canyon, Cha Canyon, and Jackrabbit Canyon. Local landmarks such as War God Spring and Cha Butte provide specific points of interest for those studying the intersection of natural topography and cultural geography. The road network, including Lost Mesa Rd and the Cradle Board Loop, suggests the primary routes of travel through the rugged high-desert environment in 2017.
