About this map

Antelope Mesa overlooks a landscape of complex drainage systems and volcanic landforms within Navajo County. The high ground is dominated by the prominent peaks of Star Mountain and Little Star Mtn in the south, while Adams Butte stands as a distinct landmark further north. These elevations contrast with the deep incisions of Talahogan Canyon, where the seasonal flow of Talahogan Wash and the presence of Talahogan Spring suggest critical water sources in an otherwise arid environment.

Surface travel is facilitated by Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Bia-16 and Bia-9757, which navigate the terrain around the expansive Jeddito Wash. The map also identifies Awatovi Spring, a name associated with the historical geography of the region. This 2014 survey documents the enduring physical character of the land as it continues to be defined by these ancient washes and mesa edges.
