BLM, Navajo Mountain, Utah‑Arizona
(Surface Management Status) metric topographic map
Printed on one side only, the
map employs elevation contours to show the form of the land. Distinct color tints designate different land
management agencies: Purple for National Park Service, orange for Navajo
Reservation, yellow for BLM, and blue for Utah state lands. Shows rivers, streams, creeks, washes, and
springs. Township and section lines are
marked. Roads of all classes are
depicted (but only US and state highways are numbered). Also shows landing strips and little else in
this remote area, for there are few other cultural features present.
There are no towns in this area,
but the few named localities on the map are Halls Crossing, Navajo Mountain
School, Oljeto, and Goulding. The
northwest corner of the map plus the middle is in Glen Canyon National
Recreation Area. The bottom of the map
covers a part of the Navajo Reservation.
The map also includes Rainbow Bridge National Monument.
The main physical features on
the map are Lake Powell (from Forbidding Canyon to Moqui Canyon, and including
the San Juan River and Escalante River branches); Waterpocket Fold, Wilson
Mesa, Rainbow Plateau, Navajo Mountain, Piute Canyon, Nokai Canyon, Monitor
Mesa, Grand Flat, Polly Mesa, Sickhorn Canyon, Douglas Mesa, northern Monument
Valley, and Oljeto Mesa.
Most of the area of the map
is in Kane County, most of the rest is in San Juan County. A small strip at lower left is in Navajo and
Coconino counties, Arizona.
