About this map

Piute Canyon and the high desert plateaus of the Navajo Nation dominate this 2014 survey. The landscape is defined by its vital water sources, including the namesake Oak Springs, Tse-Ya-Toe Spring, and Cliff Spring, which provide critical points of reference in an arid environment. These features are interspersed among dramatic landforms like the Shonto Plateau and Sage Valley, illustrating the complex drainage patterns leading into Begashibito Wash.

Navajo tribal infrastructure is represented by Bia-16, the primary road winding through the various elevations and canyons. The topographical detail reveals a succession of naming conventions from Peach Canyon to Pyramid Canyon, highlighting the geological diversity of this portion of northern Arizona. This modern survey from the U.S. Geological Survey preserves the specific nomenclature used by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and local communities for these distinctive landmarks.
