About this map

The high elevation terrain of the Defiance Plateau dominates this landscape, where a network of ephemeral washes and perennial springs defines the local hydrology. Important water sources such as Beehbito Spring and Bonito Spring are mapped alongside significant drainages like Kinlichee Cr and Bonito Cr. The map reveals a remote area primarily navigated via Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Bia-201 and Bia-204, which connect the high ground of Piney Hill to the surrounding basins.

Evidence of the traditional land use appears in features like Talhchoze Tohe Meadow and numerous named washes such as Black Soil Wash and Scattered Willow Wash. This 2014 survey documents the complex topography of the Fort Defiance Agency region, illustrating how the natural drainage patterns of Cold Spring Wash and Piney Hill Cr carve through the plateau, providing critical context for researchers studying the geography and modern infrastructure of this part of Arizona.
