2021 Map of Satan Butte

About this map

Satan Butte rises as the central topographical landmark in this high-desert portion of the Navajo Nation. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Steamboat Wash, which winds across the northern and southern sectors of the quadrangle. Human movement through this arid terrain is traced by a network of contemporary and older routes, including the prominent Indian Rte 9001 and Old Toyei Rd. The presence of Gas Line Rd near the southern border indicates the intersection of traditional land use with modern utility infrastructure. These various transportation corridors, from Indian Rte 15 to local desert tracks, highlight the persistent importance of connectivity across the expansive plateau country of eastern Arizona.
