About this map

Tonalea serves as a central hub in this high-desert landscape, situated where Bia-21 meets the path of Us-160. The region is defined by a series of significant drainages and geological landmarks, most notably the distinctive Elephant Feet rock formation near the northern end of Red Lake. The mapping details an arid environment characterized by extensive valley floors and seasonal watercourses such as Porcupine Wash, Narrow Wash, and Begashibito Wash.

Transport and access in this part of Coconino County rely on a network of Bureau of Indian Affairs roads, including Bia-6261 and Bia-214. These routes trace the contours of the Red Lake Valley, connecting scattered settlements and grazing lands. The topography is meticulously captured through 20-foot contour intervals, revealing the subtle elevations of the mesas and the wide basins that define this corner of Arizona.
