About this map

Cibecue Canyon and the high elevations of Cibecue Ridge define this high-country landscape in Navajo County. The geography is characterized by a complex network of drainages and canyons, including the prominent Turkey Canyon and Bear Wallow Canyon, which carve through the high plateaus. This area remains largely defined by its natural topography and seasonal water sources, such as Blue Spring and Rotten Spring, which have long been essential landmarks in this arid environment.

Evidence of range management is visible through features like Limestone Ridge Tank Number Two and Cedar Mesa Tanks. These localized water catchments support the cattle ranching heritage suggested by names like Cowboy Canyon. Transportation through this dissected terrain is limited to traditional routes like Indian Rte 35 and Indian Rte 36, which follow the natural contours of the ridges and canyon floors, connecting these remote Navajo County lands.
