2011 Map of Elephant Butte

About this map

Elephant Butte and the Moccasin Mountains anchor this high-desert landscape in northern Arizona, where the terrain is defined by dramatic vertical relief and traditional livestock grazing grounds. The map detail highlights an intricate network of named geographic features including the White Cliffs, Harris Mountain, and the broad expanse of the Block Mesas. Historically significant water sources like Langston Willow Spring and Kane Spring are clearly marked, illustrating how life in this arid region was dictated by the proximity to reliable seeps. Transportation is concentrated in the southern portion of the quadrangle along County Hwy-43, which cuts through Rosy Canyon, while the rest of the area remains dominated by natural landmarks such as Sandstone Butte and Elephant Gap.
