2011 Map of Oak Springs

About this map

Piute Creek serves as the primary hydrological spine of this Navajo County landscape, cutting through the high desert terrain of the Oak Springs quadrangle. The 2011 survey reveals an arid environment where water sources are vital landmarks for navigation and survival. These scattered points of reliability include Tse Ya Toe Spring in the northwest and Cliff Spring to the south. The presence of Upper Crossing Spring along the creek suggests a historical corridor for movement across the drainage. Human infrastructure is limited to primitive routes such as Indian Rte 16, which winds through the northern section, and a few unnamed roads that navigate the dramatic topography near Far End Canyon.
