2011 Map of Clay Springs

About this map

Clay Springs and the nearby community of Pinedale serve as the primary hubs in this high-desert landscape, where human settlement is closely tied to water sources like Cottonwood Wash and Pinedale Wash. The distribution of local landmarks, including the Clay Springs Post Office and access routes like Old Cemetery Rd and Cemetery Rd, reflects a history of small-town infrastructure and livestock management. Numerous tanks and springs, such as Grover Spring, Indian Spring, and Sacket Tank, dot the territory, essential for survival in this arid environment. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent lookout points and canyons, from Rattlesnake Point to the broad expanse of Gourd Flat, illustrating the natural barriers and pathways used by early residents and ranchers in Navajo County.
