About this map

Turkey Track Butte dominates the central landscape of this Navajo County region, a high point in a terrain defined by dramatic geological formations and intermittent watercourses. Named landmarks like Mexican Rest Peak and the nearby Mexican Rest Spring suggest a history of seasonal travel and stopping points within the high desert. The area is marked by significant erosion features, including Standing Rocks and the distinctively named Coyote Joe Rock to the southwest.

Drainage patterns are clearly established by Cottonwood Wash and Salt Seeps Wash, which carve through the land between numerous named buttes such as Edge Butte, Flying Butte, and Sharp Butte. Transportation in this modern era is represented by unpaved tribal routes like Indian Rte 9861 and Salt Sap Rd, which provide access through the vast public land survey system grid of townships T20N and T21N.
