2021 Map of Star Mountain

About this map

Star Mtn and Little Star Mtn anchor the southern reaches of this Navajo County landscape, rising from a high-desert terrain marked by deep washes and volcanic buttes. To the north, the elevation climbs toward Antelope Mesa, where the dramatic incision of Talahogan Canyon cuts through the plateau. Water remains the primary architect of this region, with the expansive Jeddito Wash and Talahogan Wash defining the drainage patterns. These seasonal watercourses are punctuated by essential desert water sources like Awatovi Spring and Talahogan Spring. Modern transit is limited to a network of established routes including Indian Rte 60 and Indian Rte 9757, which follow the natural contours of the land around landmarks like Adams Butte. The map provides a clear look at the township and range survey lines that divide this stretch of the Colorado Plateau into its constituent sections.
