About this map

Long Tom Spring and other vital water sources define this high-country landscape in Navajo County. In a region shaped by deep drainages like Long Tom Canyon and Cedar Canyon, the placement of artificial water catchments such as Highway Sixty Tank and Dove Tank reflects the essential infrastructure required for ranching and travel through this part of Arizona. The topography is anchored by prominent elevations including Snake Ridge and Limestone Ridge, while the drainage system of Corduroy Cr and its tributaries carve intricate patterns across the terrain.

Local landmarks such as Bear Playground Spring and Dripping Spring offer specific points of interest for those studying the natural history or historical geography of the area. The presence of Faught Ridge Rd provides one of the few named transportation corridors, cutting across the northeastern corner of the map. This 2018 survey detail captures the modern state of these traditional western lands, where the reliance on named springs and tanks remains as critical today as it was for earlier generations of settlers.
