About this map

Red Slide Peak serves as the dominant landmark for this high-desert region of the Navajo Nation. The landscape is defined by a complex network of wide, arid basins including Salt Water Valley, Horse Trail Valley, and Many Greasewood Valley. Water resources are sparse and critical in this environment, represented here by Black Rock Pond and the Reed Windmill.

Transportation throughout the territory relies on established routes such as Indian Rte 41 and Indian Rte 8033, which traverse the valleys to connect remote points. The naming of features like Sweathouse Valley and Toh Ne Zhonnie Valley reflects the cultural and geographical significance of the terrain to the local community, while drainage patterns like Red Slide Peak Wash illustrate the hydrologic character of this Navajo County landscape during the early 21st century.
