2021 Map of Yucca Hill

About this map

Yucca Hill rises as the central landmark in this high-desert landscape within Navajo County, where a network of ephemeral drainages and broad valleys defines the topography. The northern reaches are bounded by Moenkopi Wash, while the southern expanse is shaped by the Dinnebito Wash and Forest Lake Wash. This 2021 survey illustrates a sparse infrastructure of desert routes, including the primary corridor of Main Rd and Indian Rte 8039, which provide access through the complex terrain. The map captures an environment largely unchanged in its naming conventions, featuring descriptive locales such as White House Valley, Red Peak Valley, and the curiously named Resting Cattle Valley. These names suggest a long history of land use tied to livestock and local geography, offering a detailed perspective on the basin-and-wash systems of Northern Arizona.
