About this map

Long Tom Canyon and the surrounding high-elevation terrain of Navajo County are defined by a complex network of ephemeral water sources and drainage systems. This 2014 survey reveals a landscape where survival and land use depend on specific named water points, including Long Tom Spring, Little Spring, and Dripping Spring. The topographic detail illustrates the deep relief of Bull Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon, which slice through prominent formations such as Snake Ridge and Limestone Ridge.

Remote infrastructure is visible through a series of specialized water tanks, such as Bull Pasture Tank and Limestone Ridge Tank Number One, which support the region's ranching or wildlife needs. The diagonal transit of Us-60 provides the primary corridor through this high-desert environment, passing near local landmarks like Hop Canyon and the Borrow Pit Tank. The map documents the persistent importance of named natural springs, such as Bear Playground Spring, in an otherwise arid Arizona landscape.
