About this map

Sweathouse Peak and Tse Da Ahoodzo Peak dominate this landscape within the Chinle Agency, reflecting a terrain defined by dramatic elevations and deep drainage systems. The map shows a remote network of unpaved transit routes, including Indian Rte 8081 and Indian Rte 8080, which navigate the high-desert topography. This 2011 survey documents a region where water sources are vital geographic anchors, marked by Cow Spring, Sweetwater Spring, and the appropriately named Waterfall Spring.

The presence of numerous branching drainages like Sagebrush Canyon, Red Willow Canyon, and Tse Da Ahoodzo Canyon suggests a complex watershed where seasonal runoff has carved distinct paths through the earth. Further west, the parallel courses of Aspen Canyon and Second Aspen Canyon highlight the rhythmic nature of the local geology below Yale Point. This map provides a clear view of the area's natural features and primitive road systems as they existed in the early 21st century.
