About this map

Wupatki National Monument covers the central portion of this landscape, characterized by a series of distinct mesas and volcanic landforms. The high ground is defined by features such as Magnetic Mesa, Woodhouse Mesa, and White Mesa, while the lower elevations are marked by a network of drainage systems including Citadel Wash, Antelope Wash, and Deadman Wash.

Depressions and basins suggest a unique geological character, with Citadel Sink and Arrowhead Sink appearing alongside the Red House Basin. This Coconino County terrain is punctuated by significant peaks like Doney Mountain and the expansive Antelope Prairie. While primarily a natural landscape, the presence of Wupatki Spring and Bar Doney Tank highlights the scarce but vital water sources that have sustained movement through this high desert region.
