2018 Map of Burro Spring

About this map

Burro Spring and Shonto Spring serve as vital water sources in this high-desert portion of Navajo County, defining the settlement and travel patterns of the landscape. The terrain is structured by the passage of Indian Rte 58, which traverses the western half of the quadrangle. This 2018 survey reveals a sparse but functionally organized landscape within the township and range system, specifically covering parts of t27n r15e, t27n r16e, t26n r15e, and t26n r16e. The presence of these named springs suggests their enduring importance for livestock and local use in a region where reliable water is the primary factor for navigation and land utility.
