2014 Map of Tall Mountain NW

About this map

Piute Canyon dominates this portion of the Navajo Nation, revealing a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and remote plateau systems. The intermittent flow of Piute Creek carves through the central terrain, separating the high expanse of Piute Mesa in the northeast from the Shonto Plateau to the south. This 2014 survey illustrates the sparse infrastructure typical of this high-desert environment, where transportation is limited to established routes like Bia-16 and Bia-6310. The map provides a clear look at the township and range boundaries, including t41n r15e and t40n r16e, which anchor this rugged section of Navajo County. For those studying the geography of Northern Arizona, the map offers an exact record of the drainage patterns and landform orientations that dictate movement across this territory.
