About this map

Piute Canyon and the high elevations of the Shonto Plateau define this high-desert landscape in northern Arizona. This 2018 survey documents a remote network of canyons and crucial water sources that have sustained life in this arid region for generations. Named water features like Tse Ya Toe Spring, Upper Crossing Spring, and Oak Springs are vital landmarks scattered throughout the complex topography.

Modern infrastructure is minimal, represented primarily by N Rte 16, which provides the main access through the varying terrain of Peach Canyon and Far End Canyon. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of Piute Cr as it flows toward the Cliff Spring Canyon area. This detailed topographic study is essential for understanding the seasonal hydrology and navigational challenges of the Navajo County backcountry.
