2021 Map of Red Clay Wash

About this map

Woodspring Trading Post stands as a focal point in this high-desert landscape of Apache County, where the high-elevation terrain is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainage channels and vital springs. The settlement of Kinlichee lies in the southern portion of the map, connected by local routes such as Kinlichee School Rd and Kinlichee Rd. This area reflects a landscape where water and trade routes dictated the placement of outposts. Several named water features, including Wood Spring and White-around-the-Mountain Spring, appear as essential resources in this arid environment. The map also documents the drainage patterns of Lone Tule Wash, Sage House Wash, and Red Clay Wash, which carve through the land towards Kinlichee Cr. A complex system of Navajo Service and Indian Routes, such as Indian Rte 27 and Fluted Rock Rd, provide a modern record of the infrastructure connecting these high-plateau communities.
