2011 Map of Owl Spring

About this map

Owl Spring and the surrounding high desert terrain define this corner of Navajo County, captured in this 2011 topographic study. The landscape is marked by significant topographical shifts, including the prominent elevation of Owl Spring Mesa and the geological passage at Rock Gap. Water sources are critical landmarks in this arid environment, with Many Skull Spring situated in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map documents a network of unpaved transit corridors such as Indian Rte 591 and Indian Rte 6510, which provide the primary means of traversing the remote canyons and plateaus. These routes and named springs reveal the essential infrastructure required for life and travel in the high desert at the start of the twenty-first century.
