About this map

Segihatsosi Canyon and the high plateaus of the Navajo Nation define this landscape in northeastern Arizona. The map documents a complex system of vertical relief, where flat-topped features like Azansosi Mesa and Tyende Mesa rise abruptly from the surrounding drainage basins. This 2021 survey reveals a remote network of unpaved routes, including Nav Rte 6450 and the Perrish Creek Bus Rte, which trace the accessible floor of the Little Capitan Valley and the surrounding high desert.

Erosion has sculpted specific landmarks across the quadrangle, notably Owl Rock and Segeke Butte. The presence of named features such as Standing Cow Arch and Laughing Canyon suggests a long-standing human connection to these specific geological formations, despite the lack of dense modern settlement. The map serves as a precise record of the landforms and limited infrastructure within this portion of the Navajo reservation during the early twenty-first century.
