2011 Map of Ceadro Spring

About this map

Zuni River meanders through this portion of eastern Arizona, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape marked by subtle relief and sparse water sources. This 2011 survey illustrates the arid character of the region, where topographical interest centers on the few named water and terrain features that survive the dry environment. Jaralosa Draw cuts through the center of the sheet, providing a natural channel for seasonal runoff that eventually meets the river. The presence of Ceadro Spring serves as a critical localized landmark, representing one of the few named perennial or semi-perennial water points in this section of the high desert. The map primarily reflects an open, undeveloped territory with a limited network of roads, documenting the rural isolation of this part of the state.
