2011 Map of Indian Spring Canyon

About this map

Cibola National Forest encompasses much of this high-elevation landscape, where deep drainages like Indian Spring Canyon and Corkscrew Canyon cut through the terrain. The map documents a sparse network of ranching outposts and infrastructure, including the Alamo Navajo Airport and several named family holdings such as the Thomas Canada Ranch and Chavez Ranch. These settlements are linked by primitive routes like Indian Svc Rte 7031 and Co Rd 27. Water management is central to the area's utility, marked by numerous livestock tanks and natural points like Coal Spring and Burro Spring. Evidence of mineral exploration appears at the Hot Spot Mines, located near the northern reaches of Jaralosa Creek. The topographic detail illustrates a transition from the narrow confines of Maverick Draw to the broader flats surrounding Alamo Creek.
