About this map

Pinon serves as a central hub in this high-desert landscape of the Chinle Agency, marked by a post office at Po and the intersection of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes like Bia-4 and Bia-41. The geography is defined by broad drainages and prominent landforms, including the expanse of Wepo Valley and the northern reaches of First Mesa. Further east, Whippoorwill Spring Mesa rises above the basin, while Toh Ha Hao Cheen marks a specific point of interest in the southern terrain.

Water sources are vital features in this arid environment, with Wepo Wash and Burnt Corn Wash cutting through their respective valleys. Localized water points such as Whippoorwill Spring and Crou Spring provide essential landmarks for navigation and historic land use. The map details a network of local roads and desert tracks, including Route 8073 and Bia-8030, illustrating the connectivity between scattered residential areas and the more remote reaches of Burnt Corn Valley.
