About this map

Canyon De Chelly National Monument defines the northern reaches of this high-desert landscape in Apache County. The terrain is dominated by the vast Defiance Plateau, a region characterized by deep drainage systems and prominent elevations like Upper Forest Mtn. The hydrology of the area is a complex network of seasonal washes and reliable water sources, including Honeymoon Spring and White Rock Spring.

Nazlini Canyon and its associated waterway, Nazlini Creek, cut through the southwestern portion of the sheet, illustrating the erosive forces that have shaped this part of the Navajo Nation. At the southeastern corner, the landmark known as Fluted Rock stands as a clear geographic marker. The presence of several distinct springs, such as Tsegito Spring, points to the traditional importance of water locations in this arid environment, connected by local routes like Indian Rte 7.
