About this map

The settlement of Carrizo anchors the southern edge of this high-desert landscape in Navajo County, where the infrastructure of the Fort Apache Indian Reservation is clearly visible. Deep canyons like Blue Spring Canyon and Limestone Canyon carve through the terrain, directed by the drainage of Carrizo Cr and Corduroy Cr. The map details a remote network of water management features essential for the arid environment, including the Cibecue Ridge Tank, Lost Tank, and Cedar Mesa Tanks.

Uplands are defined by massive formations such as Cibecue Ridge and Limestone Ridge, while smaller features like Rotten Spring and Blue Spring highlight localized water sources. Transportation is limited to a few primary corridors, including Us-60 and Az-73, alongside secondary routes like Bia-35, illustrating the sparse but critical connectivity of this part of the Southwest in the early 21st century.
