About this map

Tall Tree Mesa dominates the landscape of this high plateau region in Apache County, where a network of deeply incised canyons defines the local geography. These geological features, including Yellowstone Canyon and Tezinie Canyon, create a complex terrain of ridges and drainages. The small settlements of Owl Nest and Bilasha are located within this environment, connected by local routes such as Indian Rte 8084 and BIA Rte 8084.

Drainage systems like Sheep Dip Cr and Kykotsmovi Cr flow through the eponymous Sheep Dip Canyon and Jimson Weed Canyon, illustrating the seasonal water patterns of the Arizona desert. This 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the current road network and land divisions of the Public Land Survey System, including sections within T34N and T33N, making it an essential reference for understanding contemporary land use in this part of the Navajo Nation.
