2014 Map of Navajo Canyon

About this map

Hovenweep National Monument anchors this high desert landscape, preserving archaeological history across a terrain defined by deep incisions like Navajo Canyon and Allen Canyon. The map reveals a remote corner of the Four Corners region where the rugged topography of Cajon Mesa meets the industrial footprint of the Aneth Oil Field. This intersection of federal preservation and energy extraction is connected by a network of specialized routes, including Cajon Mesa Rd and Old Aneth Rd. To the west, the drainage of Montezuma Cr marks the land, while family and historical waypoints are traced through labels such as Ismay Trading Post Rd and Spooner Rd. The map provides an intricate look at the canyon-and-mesa systems near the West Fork Allen Canyon, showing how modern infrastructure like Bia-5066 follows the natural contours of the ancient landscape.
