2018 Map of Toadindaaska Mesa

About this map

Toadindaaska Mesa dominates the northern skyline of this Navajo Nation landscape, characterized by high plateaus and complex drainage systems. The small settlement of Cottonwood serves as a primary reference point in the high desert, where routes like Indian Rte 43 and Indian Rte 251 connect scattered homesites across the arid terrain. Natural water sources are vital in this environment, evidenced by the presence of Chewed Nose Springs tucked below the southern rim of the mesa and Salina Springs to the southeast. These springs represent historical lifelines for local inhabitants and livestock.
