About this map

Cibecue Ridge dominates the western portion of this high-altitude landscape, where drainage patterns are defined by several deep cuts including Turkey Canyon and Bear Wallow Canyon. This region, located within the White Mountain Apache territory, relies heavily on scattered water sources such as Blue Spring, Rotten Spring, and a series of livestock-supporting tanks like the Cedar Mesa Tanks and Cibecue Ridge Tank.

Infrastructure is sparse and limited to the corridors of Indian Rte 35 and Indian Rte 36, which follow the natural contours of the land. The primary waterway, Carrizo Creek, winds through the center of the sheet, eventually meeting Corduroy Creek in the south. The placement of Lost Tank and various named ridges such as Limestone Ridge highlights the topographical isolation and the critical importance of managed water for land use in this arid Arizona environment during the early 21st century.
