2011 Map of Dipping Water Well

About this map

Wide Ruin Wash defines the drainage patterns across this high desert landscape, carving its way toward the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. The area is characterized by sparse water resources, with essential infrastructure represented by locations like the Dipping Water Well and John Joe Well. This region within the Fort Defiance Agency demonstrates a network of transit routes spanning the terrain, from established paths like Indian Rte 9401 to specialized tracks such as Blue Metal Rd. To the south, the elevation rises toward the prominent landmark of Padres Mesa, while the northern reaches are accessed via Dead Wood Mesa Rd. The mapping of these specific wells and mesa names provides a clear record of the geographic points of reference used in this part of Apache County in the early twenty-first century.
