About this map

Wupatki National Monument occupies the southwestern corner of this desert landscape, where high mesas and deep-cut drainage systems define the Coconino County terrain. The Little Colorado River meanders across the center of the sheet, providing a primary drainage channel for numerous seasonal tributaries including Mays Wash, Tohachi Wash, and Jackrabbit Wash. These waterways cut through prominent geological formations such as White Mesa and the striking Tloi Eechii Cliffs below Ward Terrace.

Land management and access are marked by Bia-6730, connecting the northern reaches of the monument to the broader plateau. The map details vital water sources in this arid environment, from the natural flow of Yellow Spring to the man-made Ely Tank. Significant elevation changes are recorded at Black Point and along the Baah Lokaa Ridge, offering a clear view of the complex topography that surrounds the ancient cultural sites within the monument boundaries.
