2018 Map of Shonto SE

About this map

The Shonto Plateau dominates this high-desert landscape in Navajo County, defined by a network of drainage patterns and distinct topographic boundaries. The land descends toward the Klethla Valley and Long House Valley in the southeast, where the terrain flattens significantly compared to the dissected plateau above. This area is shaped by the intermittent flow of Shonto Wash, which carves through the sandstone layers typical of this region. Human activity is marked by a sparse road network, including Indian Rte 221 and Indian Rte 6312. An industrial footprint is evident via the Peabody Coal Company Access Rd, reflecting the modern energy and transport infrastructure that intersects with traditional tribal lands.
