2017 Map of Indian Spring Canyon

About this map

Cibola National Forest defines the central landscape of this New Mexico quadrangle, characterized by a complex network of seasonal drainages and named springs. The terrain is deeply incised by prominent landforms such as Indian Spring Canyon, Dove Spring Canyon, and Three Log Spring Canyon. This area shows a reliance on scattered water sources, documented through numerous family-named and descriptive springs including Montoya Spring, Abbe Spring, and Murdock Spring, alongside cattle-related infrastructure like Mexican Tank and Heifer Tank. The transport network consists largely of Indian Service routes and forest roads, such as Indian Svc Rte 7032 and Indian Svc Rte 54, which navigate the elevation changes between Maverick Draw and Corkscrew Canyon. This survey provides a modern record of the land use and hydrography within the Eastern Navajo Agency region.
