2018 Map of Nazlini

About this map

Nazlini serves as the primary hub in this high-desert landscape, situated where the Gas Pipeline Rd and Indian Rte 27 intersect. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological formations, most notably the deep incision of Nazlini Canyon and the prominent elevations of Gray Mtn and Rock Mesa. A complex network of ephemeral drainage systems, including Tah-aith-cheed Wash and Rock Top Wash, illustrates the seasonal water movement toward the main artery of Nazlini Creek. Isolated water sources such as Tsegito Spring highlight the critical locations for life in this arid environment. The map also records early 21st-century infrastructure, with routes like Indian Rte 8015 and Co Rd 310 connecting the scattered settlements and grazing lands across the Navajo Nation.
