This is a region on the western side of the reservation, called T'íís Tsoh, which means Wide Trees. The english name is Teestoh, Arizona, which borders the Hopi Indian Reservation.
At the site shown below in the picture labeled "Original Trading Post Site," huge trees were planted when the post was built, which gave this location its name. They stood until a few years ago, when locals came by and dug up these trees.
The following picture, entitled "íí' Hádít'iih," was taken from a location with that Navajo name. This translates to Horse Look-out in English. This location gives the whole view of Teestoh. The "butte" to the left in this picture is known as "Saddle Butte" to the locals.
The last pic is merely a barbed-wire fence showing where the Navajo reservation ends and where the Hopi Indian reservation begins. Doo'ko'oosííd, or the San Francisco Peaks, can be seen in the distance within this picture. This mountain range is one of the "Four Sacred Mountains." This was given to me by my brother-in-law, Hansen Dempsey, who is originally from Teesto.
