2014 Map of Carrisito Spring

About this map

Carrisito Spring serves as a vital water point in this high-desert borderland where Apache County meets the New Mexico state line. The landscape is defined by the significant drainage of Carrizo Wash, which meanders across the southern sections of the quadrangle, carving a path through the arid terrain. To the north, the topography is increasingly complex, marked by deep incisions like Blanco Canyon and Little Blanco Canyon, alongside the appropriately named Horse Canyon. This 2014 survey documents a sparsely settled region primarily accessed by utility and forest routes such as CO Road 6002 and NF-19. The map provides a precise view of the intersection of three counties—Apache, Cibola, and Catron—illustrating how legal and political boundaries overlay the natural features of Twentytwo Draw.
