2014 Map of Sitting Coyote Hill

About this map

Kaibito Plateau dominates the central landscape of this Coconino County region, characterized by its high-elevation terrain and isolated geological formations. In the northwestern corner, the Little Black Mesa and Mormon Ridges provide distinct topographic relief, while the namesake Sitting Coyote Hill rises in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Transport across this sparsely settled part of the Navajo Nation is facilitated by a few key Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Bia-21, which winds diagonally across the plateau, and Bia-6231 to the south. The southern edge is defined by the winding profile of Crooked Ridge, illustrating the complex erosional patterns typical of this high desert environment.
