2014 Map of Two Red Mesas

About this map

Two Red Mesas and Potato Canyon anchor this arid landscape within Coconino County, where the topography is defined by intricate drainage systems and high plateaus. The map traces the course of Starting Water Wash as it moves across the southern sections, joined by Long Canyon Wash and Square Butte Wash. These watercourses reveal the natural conduits of the high desert, leading toward essential water sources like Bennett Spring. Significant elevation features such as Gray Mesa dominate the northern terrain, providing clear insight into the geological strata of the region. Transportation in this area is limited to a handful of routes, notably Bia-6330 and Powerline Rd, which reflect the remote character of the land and its reliance on Bureau of Indian Affairs infrastructure for regional connectivity.
