2014 Map of Preston Mesa North

About this map

Kaibito Plateau dominates this high desert landscape within the Navajo Nation, providing a look at the remote terrain of Coconino County. The map shows a region characterized by dramatic elevation changes, notably at the southern edge where the land rises sharply to Preston Mesa. This elevation gain is navigated by a sparse network of Bureau of Indian Affairs roads, including Bia-21 in the northwest and Bia-215, which climbs the face of the mesa. The topographic survey documents the precise township and range boundaries, such as t36n r11e and t34n r12e, which structure this vast open country. The absence of traditional settlements emphasizes the isolation of the plateau, where movement is dictated by the few established tracks crossing the high arid plains and sandstone formations.
