2011 Map of Tall Mesa

About this map

Tall Mesa anchors this high-desert landscape in Apache County, where the terrain is defined by wide drainages and a network of tribal and county roads. The drainage of Burro Wash cuts through the central portion of the sheet, illustrating the natural water-flow patterns of this arid region. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is represented by several significant routes, including Indian Rte-8071, Indian Rte-118, and Indian Rte-8014, which intersect to connect this part of the Navajo Nation. The presence of Co Rd-481 further highlights the managed road system that facilitates movement across the mesa. This survey provides a clear look at the topographic relief and logistical arteries of the area, serving as a baseline for understanding contemporary land use and natural geography in this corner of Arizona.
