2014 Map of Prospect Spring

About this map

Prospect Spring serves as a lone, critical water point in this arid stretch of Apache County, situated at the base of the high-country contours that define the local relief. The landscape is primarily shaped by the winding path of Hardscrabble Wash, which cuts diagonally across the township lines of t17n r28e, t17n r29e, t16n r28e, and t16n r29e. This 2014 survey documents a territory defined by its drainage patterns rather than dense settlement, offering a clear view of the natural topography in the decades following early ranching and land surveying efforts in the region. The map provides a precise record of the elevation and geographic boundaries within this portion of the Arizona high desert.
