2020 Map of Navajo Begay

About this map

Navajo Mountain dominates the southern skyline of this high-desert region where the state lines of Utah and Arizona meet. The 2020 landscape is defined by the sharp verticality of eroded sandstone, from the prominence of Cha Butte in the north to the sprawling Rainbow Plateau in the west. This territory, spanning the border of San Juan and Coconino counties, shows a sparse network of modern infrastructure tailored to the demanding terrain. Local travel is facilitated by routes like Piute Creek Rd and Lost Mesa Rd, while the Navajo Mountain Airport provides a critical aviation link to this high-elevation plateau. Named water sources like War God Spring and seasonal drainages such as Desha Creek and Jackrabbit Fork illustrate the vital, if intermittent, hydrology that has shaped the human and natural history of these canyons.
