2011 Map of Old Leupp

About this map

Old Leupp and Sunrise anchor this 2011 survey of the high desert landscape in Coconino County, where the meandering course of the Little Colorado River defines the southern terrain. This map documents a critical crossroads of the Navajo Nation, centered on the Old Leupp Trading Post and the Leupp Post Office. The road network is heavily represented by tribal routes including Indian Rte-15 and the Leupp-Oraibi Rd, which facilitate movement across this arid expanse. Further west, the Sunrise Trading Post and the nearby Sunrise Airfield mark a secondary hub of activity. The geography is characterized by dramatic drainage patterns, most notably where the Canyon Diablo Wash cuts through Canyon Diablo before joining the main river valley, illustrating the hydrologic importance of these seasonal and perennial waterways to the local settlements.
