2021 Map of Tall Mountain

About this map

Navajo National Monument occupies the southeastern corner of this high-elevation landscape in Navajo County, where massive landforms like Skeleton Mesa and Zilnez Mesa define the horizon. The terrain is a complex network of drainage systems, including Nokai Canyon, Long Canyon, and the deeply incised Bubbling Spring Canyon. These features illustrate the erosion patterns across the Shonto Plateau, a region where water sources are vital but sparse. Scattered throughout the canyons and valleys are essential water points such as Oat Spring, Hawks Nest Spring, and Deer Spring. Evidence of human movement and infrastructure is centered on the corridor of Indian Rte 6310, which navigates the variable elevations between landmarks like Tall Mtn and the broad expanse of Sage Valley. The map detail provides a clear view of the relationship between the plateau's natural springs and the primary travel routes through the desert floor.
