About this map

Shonto Plateau dominates this high-elevation landscape in Navajo County, defined by deep drainage systems and seasonal water sources. The terrain is deeply incised by Geshi Canyon and Cliff Spring Canyon, which channel intermittent water through the high desert. Settlement is sparse, represented primarily by the transportation corridors of Indian Rte 6310 and Indian Rte 6320.

Hydrological features are critical landmarks in this environment, including Adadka Spring and Sand Spring. These water points, along with the drainage of Begashibito Wash and Last End Wash, outline the natural pathways and resource locations that have shaped movement and land use across the plateau. The map detail provides a clear view of the complex topography and the network of routes connecting these remote points.
