2011 Map of Toh Bih Nosteny

About this map

Toh Bih Nosteny names a solitary water feature on this high-desert plateau in Coconino County, where the landscape is defined by the intersection of administrative road networks. The terrain is crisscrossed by several iterations of Forest Service Rd, which serve the expansive back country of northern Arizona. These primitive routes connect with more formal arteries like Indian Rte 20 and Indian Rte 21, suggesting a region where transportation is tied to land management and tribal access. The lack of named settlements reflects the isolation of the area, where water sources like Toh Bih Nosteny were critical landmarks for travelers navigating between the San Francisco Peaks and the Painted Desert.
