2014 Map of Oak Creek Mountain

About this map

Oak Creek Mountain stands as the central topographic feature of this high-elevation landscape within the Apache County portion of the Navajo Nation. The terrain is part of the broader Defiance Plateau, characterized by an intricate drainage system of seasonal washes and isolated water sources. Important hydrologic markers such as Tsegito Spring, Black Soil Spring, and Tseya- Kinshidi Spring appear throughout the township and range divisions, signifying the critical role of reliable water in this arid environment. The map records several Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Bia-203 and Bia-9500, which provide the primary access through the system of deep-cut drainages like Ruin Wash and Lone Tule Wash. To the south, the headwaters of Kinlichee Cr take shape, illustrating the complex flow patterns of the Scattered Willow Wash area.
