2011 Map of Jeddito Spring

About this map

Jeddito Spring serves as a vital water source in this high desert landscape within the Navajo Nation. The terrain is marked by significant landmarks such as Stephen Butte and the cultural site at Kawaika-A, illustrating the deep connection between geography and indigenous settlement history. A network of routes, including Indian Rte-9759 and Indian Rte-9102, crisscrosses the arid plains, connecting isolated water points like Indian Spring and Sand Spring. These features suggest a landscape where transportation and survival have long been dictated by the location of reliable springs. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the region's sparse infrastructure, dominated by secondary roads like Skunk Springs Rd and Indian Rte-9067.
