2014 Map of Round Top Mountain

About this map

Round Top Mountain anchors this high-elevation landscape in eastern Arizona, where a complex network of seasonal drainages and livestock tanks defines the land use of the mid-2010s. The terrain is deeply etched by the headwaters of Middle Cedar Cr and E Cedar Cr, reflecting a landscape managed for grazing and water conservation. Throughout the quadrangle, numerous named water sources like Upper Walnut Spring, Red Willow Spring, and Steer Pasture Spring indicate the critical importance of reliable water in this arid environment. The naming conventions for water features, such as Big Canyon Tank Number One and the G-five Farm Tank, suggest a coordinated approach to land management across these expansive townships. This period of the Navajo County survey captures the area's transition into Amos Wash, illustrating the subtle topographic shifts that guide the region's intermittent hydrology and ranching infrastructure.
