2014 Map of Big Lake South

About this map

Apache National Forest lands dominate this high-altitude landscape in eastern Arizona, where a complex network of springs, tanks, and seasonal marshes known as cienegas supports the local ecosystem. The hydrology of the area is defined by the W Fork Black River and a collection of named water sources such as Must Spring, Spillman Spring, and Deadman Spring. These features, alongside numerous stock tanks like House Tank and Duck Lake Tank, reflect the vital importance of water management for grazing and wildlife in this portion of the White Mountains.
