2014 Map of No Mans Mesa South

About this map

The high plateau landscape of No Mans Mesa and Piute Mesa dominates this 2014 survey along the Utah-Arizona border. This region of the San Juan and Navajo County line is defined by dramatic elevation shifts, where the high mesas drop sharply into deep drainage systems like Nokai Canyon and Begashinitani Canyon. Human presence is marked by the isolated paths of Piute Mesa Rd and Windmill Rd, which trace the more accessible stretches of the uplands. The intricate drainage network of Nokai Cr and Neskahi Wash illustrates the erosive forces that have carved this portion of the Southwest. Distinctive landmarks such as Thumb Rock and the northern reaches of Nokai Mesa provide clear navigational anchors in a terrain of complex contours and massive geological formations.
