About this map

Roden Crater dominates the southeastern quadrant of this modern Arizona landscape, a landform of particular interest for its transition from a geological feature to a site of significant contemporary land art. The terrain is marked by a complex network of seasonal drainages including Kanaa Wash, Stone House Wash, and Little Roden Wash, which define the arid stretches of Kanaa Valley.

Survival in this high desert environment is signaled by a series of critical water sources, such as Peshlaki Spring, Coyote Spring, and Little Roden Spring. To the northwest, the map captures a portion of Wupatki National Monument and the prominent Woodhouse Mesa, illustrating the preservation of ancestral lands. The scarcity of modern infrastructure, represented primarily by Co RD 395, underscores the remote and protected character of this Coconino County region.
