About this map

Navajo Springs anchors this high-desert landscape in Apache County, serving as a primary water source in a region defined by scattered tanks and named windmills. The geography reveals a ranching and water-management network essential for the arid terrain, where local landmarks like the Little Wallace Windmill and Teclote Windmill denote critical points of human intervention. Surface water is scarce, recorded only at sites like Salt Seeps, Water Dog Tank, and Jacobs Tank, which sustain the local livestock and wildlife.

Transportation routes such as Rim Rd and Apache Co 7395 suggest the movement of people and resources between these remote points. Notable natural features include the distinct geological formation known as The Crater. The presence of several family or place-named structures, including the Sleepy Hollow Windmill and Rattlesnake Windmill, offers genealogists and local historians specific points of interest for tracing land use and grazing history within the Fort Defiance Agency region.
