About this map

The White Cone settlement and its namesake geological features characterize this high-desert landscape in Navajo County during the early 21st century. The topography is defined by prominent landforms such as White Cone Peak, Tesihim Butte, and Deshgish Butte, which rise above the surrounding terrain. This arid region relies on scattered water sources, documented here as White Cone Spring, Rabbit Spring, Cottonwood Spring, and Mike Spring.

A network of tribal routes, including Indian Rte-9062 and Indian Rte-9001, connects the remote homesteads and grazing lands near the northern edges of the Painted Desert. The map reveals a land managed and navigated through these established corridors, reflecting the enduring presence of the Navajo people and their connection to specific named landmarks and vital springs in an otherwise water-scarce environment.
