About this map

Tovar Mesa dominates the central landscape of this Navajo County region, illustrating the arid high-plateau geography characteristic of the Colorado Plateau. The settlement of Sa'lako sits in the northwestern portion of the map, served by a network of regional thoroughfares including Indian Rte 11 and Indian Rte 15. The drainage patterns are well-defined by several seasonal waterways, most notably Jeddito Wash, which carves through the southern half of the quadrangle alongside Tees Toh Wash.

Geographical landmarks such as Crows Nest Point, Lost Gun Point, and Pillow Ridge provide vertical relief against the mesa, while isolated features like Seed Hill and Leaf Hill mark the eastern reaches. Water resources in this dry environment are critical points of interest, represented by Tobenayoli Pond and the upper reaches of Polacca Wash. The map details the Public Land Survey System divisions, showing the intersections of townships like t25n r17e and t26n r16e.
