Comb Ridge is a linear north to south-trending monocline nearly 120 miles long in southeast Utah and Arizona. Composed of Jurassic-age Navajo Sandstone, it displays massive eolian cross-bedding.
The Navajo name tséyíkʼáán translates to Rock Extends in the Form of a Narrow Edge in English.[1] Traces of the Ancient Pueblo Peoples culture can be found along the southern part of the ridge where it follows Chinle Wash. The Macomb and Hayden expeditions in 1869 and 1874–1876, respectively, were the first to publish maps and descriptions of this feature.[2] The ridge and adjacent Butler Wash were given their current names in 1884, by P. Holmann.[2][3][4]
