2021 Map of Sunflower Butte

About this map

Sunflower Butte and the dramatic topographic formations of the Navajo nation define this high-desert landscape in northeastern Arizona. This 2021 survey details a region shaped by natural drainage and distinctive geological rises, where the local economy and lifestyle are tied to water sources like Dalkai Spring, Sheep Spring, and Cottonwood Spring. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent elevations, including the broad Malpais Mesa and the sharp profiles of Sheep Butte, Ram Butte, and Long Butte. Navigating the area relies on a network of tribal routes, such as Indian Rte 9864 and Sunflower Butte Rd, which cross various ephemeral waterways. These include Gleshbito Wash and the significant Pueblo Colorado Wash, which together illustrate the complex hydrology of this arid plateau.
