About this map

Big Mtn rises above a desert landscape defined by complex drainage networks and traditional land use within Navajo County. The topography is marked by deep geographic depressions like White Ruin Canyon and broad expanses such as Many Sheep Valley and White Hair Valley. These names suggest a long history of local habitation and livestock management in the high desert of northern Arizona.

Hydrological features dominate the eastern and southern portions of the map, where the East Fork Dinnebito Wash feeds into the main Dinnebito Wash. Modern infrastructure is limited to primitive routes like Indian Rte 41 and Indian Rte 8029, reflecting the area's enduring character as an open, high-elevation rangeland. The inclusion of Owl Valley provides further grounding for those tracing family ties or grazing permits in this specific section of the Chinle Agency.
