2011 Map of Cameron South

About this map

The Little Colorado River winds through the northeast corner of this high-desert landscape, where the historical significance of Tanners Crossing marks a key point of transit. The early 21st-century infrastructure is defined by a sparse but vital network of routes including Navajo Reservation Rd and the Black Mesa Pump Station Rd, which cut across the arid terrain. Commerce in this region remains tied to the tradition of roadside outposts, evidenced by the Wagon Wheel Trading Post and Buck Rodgers Trading Post located near the small settlement of Cameron. Water sources are critical landmarks here, with Tappan Spring and Janus Spring providing rare relief in a landscape otherwise dominated by dry seasonal drainages like Tappan Wash and Burro Canyon Wash.
