2014 Map of Howard Spring

About this map

Howard Spring and several other natural seeps punctuate this high-desert landscape in Coconino County, where water management defines the land's utility. The drainage of Monument Wash carves through the terrain, supporting a network of catchment systems such as the Duff-Brown Tank, Middle Water Tank, and V L Bar Tank. These features, alongside isolated water bodies like Watson Lake and C Lake, indicate a region long utilized for livestock or resource management. Transportation across the townships of t26n r3w and t25n r2w is provided by remote routes including Willaha Rd and W Espee Rd. The prevalence of named springs like Surprise Spring, Willow Wash Spring, and Black Jack Spring provides a detailed view of the essential water sources that have historically sustained activity in this part of Arizona.
