2014 Map of Cibecue

About this map

Cibecue serves as the primary settlement on this landscape, located where Cibecue Cr flows southward through the high plateaus of Navajo County. The 2014 survey reveals a terrain defined by complex drainages and numerous water sources essential for this arid region, including Cottonwood Spring, DeHose Spring, and the uniquely named Ice Cream Cone Tank. Transport across the area is maintained via a network of BIA routes, such as Bia-12, and air access through the Cibecue Airport. The topography is dominated by dramatic elevation changes, notably at Valley View Point and along the elevated Cibecue Ridge, while deep cuts like Jumpoff Canyon and Indian Canyon carve through the northern reaches of the quadrangle. Significant washes like Day School Wash and C One Wash highlight the seasonal water patterns that have historically influenced settlement and movement in this part of Arizona.
