2011 Map of Padilla Mesa

About this map

Padilla Mesa and the surrounding high desert terrain in Coconino County are defined by a network of drainage systems and isolated landforms. The topographical prominence of No Trail Mesa and the specific site at Hunters Point reveal a landscape where movement is dictated by the natural rise and fall of the mesas. Transport in this region relies on established corridors such as Indian Rte 3 and Indian Rte 13, which navigate around the prominent Flat Mesa. The inclusion of Red Clay Spring in the northern sector highlights the critical, sparse water sources that have long influenced human presence and cattle movement in this arid environment.
