Navajo section, Physiographic section in northeastern Arizona, US.
The Navajo Section encompasses broad rolling plains with cuestas and tablelands, featuring resistant sandstone beds across northeastern Arizona and northwestern New Mexico.
The region became part of the established Navajo Nation through the Treaty of Bosque Redondo in 1868, defining boundaries that expanded to their current size by 1934.
The Navajo Section contains multiple Native American communities, including parts of the Navajo Nation, Hopi Tribe, and White Mountain Apache territories.
The area contains numerous geological formations, with elevations ranging from 4,700 feet near Four Corners to 9,916 feet at Chromo Mountain.
The region features horizontal sandstone beds, volcanic necks, and buttes, creating distinctive geographical elements such as The Hogback, a steeply tilted monocline.
