2018 Map of Cow Springs

About this map

Cow Springs serves as a central landmark in this high-desert landscape within Coconino County. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of plateaus and drainage systems, including the expansive Shonto Plateau and Wild Man Mesa. Significant transit corridors like the Navajo Trl and Indian Rte 16 cut through the topography, connecting the Klethla Valley to the surrounding heights. This survey highlights critical water sources in an arid environment, such as Reed Spring, Maitoh, and the seasonal channels of Begashibito Wash and Yellow Butte Wash. The map also captures several distinct landforms like Two Mesas and the carved depths of Shato Canyon, providing an essential look at the physical geography and road network of this portion of northern Arizona.
