2011 Map of Yucca Hill

About this map

Yucca Hill stands as a central topographic landmark in this high-desert portion of the Navajo Nation during the early 21st century. The landscape is characterized by a series of named depressions and drainages, including Red Peak Valley and Dugout Valley, which channel water into ephemeral systems like Yucca Flat Wash and Forest Lake Wash. The influence of regional industry is evident in the northern reaches of the map, where the Peabody Coal Access Rd cuts through the terrain near Reed Valley. Local transportation is further defined by Main Rd and Indian Rte 8039, providing a record of the modern infrastructure and land use patterns within the Chinle Agency. The specific naming of Resting Cattle Valley and White House Valley provides a glimpse into the localized geography used by residents of Arizona and Navajo counties.
