2021 Map of White Cone

About this map

White Cone serves as the central hub of this Navajo County landscape, where the high desert terrain meets a network of established tribal routes. The settlement, also labeled as Whitecone, is situated at the intersection of Navajo Svc Rte 6 and Indian Rte 9001, showing a modern infrastructure that supports this remote community. To the south, the terrain descends into the northern reaches of the Painted Desert, a stark contrast to the prominent elevations of White Cone Peak, Tesihim Butte, and Deshgish Butte. These landmarks, along with a series of vital water sources including White Cone Spring, Rabbit Spring, and Cottonwood Spring, illustrate the essential relationship between the arid environment and the locations of early and modern activity. The presence of Pueblo Colorado Wash in the southeast corner further marks the drainage patterns of this high-elevation plateau.
