2018 Map of Sawmill

About this map

The settlement of Sawmill anchors the southeastern portion of this survey, situated on the high terrain of the Defiance Plateau. This area of the Navajo Nation is defined by its complex drainage systems and critical water sources, including Pokezje Spring, Kailcheebito Spring, and Tohnaichai Spring. The northern boundary captures a corner of the Canyon De Chelly National Monument, while the landscape to the south is marked by prominent geological features such as Fluted Rock and Red Butte. Transportation in this modern era relies on a network of tribal and local routes, such as Indian Rte 72 and Indian Rte 7, which navigate the various washes like Cattail Wash and Buell Wash. The map reveals a balance between concentrated habitation and the preserved natural environment of the plateau.
