2021 Map of Two Red Mesas

About this map

Two Red Mesas and the broad profile of Gray Mesa anchor this landscape of the Arizona high desert within Coconino County. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Long Canyon Wash and Square Butte Wash, which carve through the arid plateaus. Water resources are localized at points like Bennett Spring, a critical landmark in a region where surface water is otherwise scarce. The area is traversed by primitive routes such as Navajo Canyon Rd and Rte 6330, reflecting a sparse settlement pattern common in the expansive remote sections of the Navajo Nation. To the east, the topography becomes increasingly complex as the land descends into Potato Canyon, showing the intricate erosion patterns that characterize this portion of the Colorado Plateau.
