About this map

Cibecue serves as the central hub of this Arizona landscape, positioned where Day School Wash meets the winding Cibecue Creek. The settlement's infrastructure is connected by Indian Rte 3 and W Cibecue Rd, with the Cibecue Airport situated to the south near the junction of these transit corridors. This 2011 survey documents a high desert environment defined by seasonal water sources and drainage systems, including the notable Big Dry Lake in the north and numerous named tanks such as Ice Cream Cone Tank and Red Canyon Tank.

The terrain transitions from the heights of Valley View Point and Jumpoff Canyon down to the creek beds. A network of springs, such as Poison Ivy Spring, DeHose Spring, and Clearwater Spring, suggests a reliance on localized water points across the plateau. The presence of the Section Twentynine Reservoir further underscores the importance of water management in this region of the Fort Apache Indian Reservation.
