About this map

Adeii Eechii Cliffs dominate the northern landscape of this Coconino County terrain, serving as a prominent geological marker alongside the isolated peak of The Landmark. This region of the Navajo Nation is defined by its dramatic elevations, where the Moenkopi Plateau and Tohnali Mesa overlook the wide expanse of Ward Terrace. The scarcity of permanent water is evident, with Tanahakaad Spring and the ephemeral Landmark Wash providing the primary hydrographic features for this high-desert environment.

Evidence of historical routes and seasonal movement appears in names like Paiute Trail Point, which sits near the southern extent of the Red Rock Cliffs. The map illustrates a complex topography of ridges and drainages that have historically dictated travel and land use in this part of Arizona. The lack of established settlements emphasizes the remote nature of these cliffs and terraces, highlighting a landscape where natural features are the primary points of orientation.
