2021 Map of Three Turkey Canyon

About this map

Canyon de Chelly National Monument defines the northern reaches of this high desert landscape, where deep sandstone drainages like Spring Canyon and Little White House Canyon carve into the Defiance Plateau. The terrain is characterized by intricate wash systems, notably Tiis Ndiitsooi Wash and Tse Deeshzhaai Wash, which trend southwestward through Navajo Nation lands. This modern survey illustrates the complex natural topography of the region, anchored by landmark formations such as Ata Deeza and The Window. Significant access is provided by Indian Route 7/NPS 10/S Rim Dr, which skirts the rim of the canyon system. To the south, the namesake Three Turkey Canyon leads toward the Three Turkey Natural Bridge, a prominent geological feature situated among the high ridges. The map meticulously records the intersection of modern tribal routes like Indian Rte 8018 and historical land-survey markers across several townships.
