2018 Map of Newberry Mesa

About this map

Newberry Mesa defines the central topography of this section of Coconino County, where the high desert plateau gives way to a complex network of branching drainages and escarpments. The landscape is primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System, with the intersections of t24n r13e, t24n r14e, and t23n r13e marking the transition from the mesa's flat summit to the eroded breaks below. Modern transportation in this arid region is facilitated by a network of tribal routes, including Indian Rte 24 and Indian Rte 6812, which traverse the open country. These roads provide the primary access through a terrain characterized by subtle elevation changes and the distinct landforms of the high Arizona desert, offering a clear record of the area's geography in the early twenty-first century.
