About this map

Navajo Springs and the surrounding high desert of Apache County are defined by critical water sources and a network of historic and modern thoroughfares. This landscape in the late 2010s reveals a reliance on water management features such as Water Dog Tank, Jacobs Tank, and Lost Tank to support the local ranching economy. The presence of Salt Seeps suggests the mineral complexity of the terrain, which is further marked by the distinctive geological formation known as The Crater.

Modern infrastructure and legacy routes intersect here, with Hwy 66 cutting across the northern sections while tribal and local roads like Dineh Bi Tril, Wagon Wheel Dr, and Ranchers Ln provide access to remote allotments. The township and range boundaries of t20n r27e and t19n r28e provide the structural grid for this corner of the Navajo Nation and neighboring lands, illustrating the modern management of ancestral territory.
