2014 Map of Tah Chee Wash

About this map

Tah Chee Wash and Oraibi Wash drain a high-desert landscape defined by intricate drainage networks and named landforms in this part of the Navajo Nation. The terrain is marked by significant topographical features such as Rain Mtn and the prominent Wind Rock. A complex system of Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) routes, including Bia-8066 and Bia-8018, provides access through several distinct valleys and canyons. Geologic and local history is visible through labels like Coal Spring and Sitting Giant Rock Wash, alongside seasonal watercourses such as Bitter Water Wash and Burnt Corn Wash. The map reflects a rural, indigenous landscape where place-names often describe the physical character of the earth or historical local landmarks like Black Stump Valley and Devils Canyon.
