2014 Map of Dove Spring

About this map

Kaibito Plateau dominates the high desert landscape of Coconino County in this 2014 survey. The topography is defined by the sharp elevations of Little Black Mesa and the tiered formations of the Mormon Ridges. Human presence is marked by a network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Bia-20, Bia-6210, and Bia-6270, which traverse the open range alongside US Route 89. A critical water source in this arid environment, Dove Spring, is located centrally within the quadrangle, serving as a landmark in a region otherwise characterized by vast stretches of tribal land and rugged geological features. The map illustrates the 21st-century management of these ancestral lands, showing the intersection of modern transportation corridors and traditional natural resources.
