About this map

Leche-e Chapter serves as a focal point of this arid landscape within the Navajo Indian Reservation. The map captures a high desert environment characterized by complex drainage systems and prominent landforms such as Wide Flat Mesa and the distinctively shaped White Dome. Settlement patterns are sparse, with notable activity concentrated near the Page Corporate Boundary in the northern reaches, where industrial and utility features like Sewage Disposal Ponds and a Gravel Pit are situated.

The topography is defined by the winding paths of Honey Draw and the deep incisions of Water Holes Canyon. These features, alongside isolated water sources like Long Lake and the White Dome Tank, illustrate the critical importance of water management in this high-elevation terrain. Local place names such as The Paved Place offer unique cultural markers for researchers studying the mid-1980s layout of the Coconino county region.
