About this map

Azansosi Mesa and the expansive Tyende Mesa dominate this portion of the Navajo Indian Reservation as it was surveyed in the mid-1980s. The landscape is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages, including the prominent Olijeto Wash and Cutfoot Wash, which carve through the high plateaus. The topography is further marked by isolated landmarks such as Segoke Butte, overlooking the Little Capitan Valley.

Drainage patterns here are particularly intricate, with Tseyi-hatsosi Canyon and Laughing Canyon cutting deep into the mesas. This provisional survey captures the area before modern developments, showing the traditional relationship between the landforms and the watercourses like Parrish Creek and Adanchiiyah Canyon. The proximity to El Capitan Wash on the eastern edge provides a clear record of the geological and hydrological character of this Navajo Nation territory during this era.
