About this map

Moenkopi Wash winds across the northern expanse of this high desert terrain, serving as the primary drainage for a landscape defined by deep canyons and isolated water sources. This 1970 field-checked survey documents a significant period of land management within the Navajo Joint Use Area, a designation reflecting the complex administrative history of the region.

Remote infrastructure is characterized by a network of Jeep Trails and a long-distance Pipeline that traverse the plateau. Vital water points, including Red Willow Spring, Cottonwood Spring, and a solitary Water Tank, provide essential landmarks for navigation. To the southeast, the terrain breaks into the dramatic descent of White Ruin Canyon, highlighting the geological transition from the open wash to more intricate canyon systems.
