About this map

Rocky Ridge anchors this high-desert landscape in Navajo County, appearing as it did during the 2018 survey. The terrain is defined by the significant rise of Cliff Ridge, which runs through the eastern portion of the map, and the deep incision of Cottonwood Canyon in the north. Water sources are critical identifiers in this arid environment, with several distinct locations named, including White Cave Spring, Dove Spring, and Sunlit Spring.

Transportation through these tribal lands relies on a network of routes such as Indian Rte 1 and Indian Rte 45, which connect the settlement areas to the surrounding landscape. In the southern region, the Dinnebito Wash provides a major drainage feature. For researchers and geographers, the map also identifies traditional water holes like Ba Ha Zohnnie Betoh and Tolah Nascin, reflecting the long-standing human reliance on specific, reliable springs across these high plateaus.
