About this map

The Moenkopi Plateau and Sand Springs Mesa dominate this high-desert landscape in Coconino County, characterized by a complex system of drainage and dramatic vertical relief. Elevation drops sharply from these heights toward the Adeii Eechii Cliffs and Red Rock Cliffs, revealing a terrain carved by seasonal water flow. Extensive drainages including Gold Spring Wash, Tohachi Wash, and Haada Is Taani Di Wash define the erosional patterns across the quadrangle.

Evidence of local resource management appears at Gadii Ahi Tank in the southwestern portion of the sheet, while prominent topographic features like Rock Head and Ward Terrace provide critical landmarks in an otherwise sparsely settled region. This 2018 survey detail provides a clear view of the natural boundaries and water-access points within the Painted Desert's geological formations, illustrating the vast, unpopulated character of this part of the Navajo Nation.
