Preston Mesa rises from the northern high desert, anchoring this survey of the Coconino County landscape. The area is characterized by the expansive Kaibito Plateau, where the terrain is marked by intricate contouring and drainage patterns typical of the region. Transportation across these traditional lands is defined by a network of established routes, most notably Indian Rte 21 and Indian Rte 215, which traverse the open country between the mesas. This modern survey detail shows the intersection of natural landforms and the essential infrastructure of the Navajo Nation, providing a precise look at the geography before further contemporary development. The map also delineates the Public Land Survey System grid, including townships t36n r11e and t35n r12e, which structure the administrative boundaries of this vast desert territory.
