2018 Map of Red Point Mesa

About this map

Red Point Mesa dominates the northern landscape of this Apache County region, where the high desert terrain is defined by broad plateaus and winding seasonal watercourses. The hydrology of the area centers on Tyende Cr and Blackhorse Wash, which carve through the arid floor between significant topographical landmarks like White Rock Mesa. Human activity in this portion of the Navajo Nation is primarily marked by long-established transit corridors, including Indian Rte 18 and Indian Rte 6510. A rare water source, T'ah nih choa ah Spring, sits tucked near the drainage of Tyende Cr, suggesting a critical point of interest for local land use and grazing patterns in an otherwise dry environment. The map captures a landscape where traditional land boundaries and natural features remain the primary points of orientation.
