2011 Map of Sand Springs

About this map

Sand Springs anchors this high-desert landscape in Coconino County, where seasonal water sources dictate the geography of the terrain. The presence of several named water points, including Whisky Spring, Drag Spring, and Tishepi Spring, indicates a landscape where reliable water is the most critical landmark. These springs are scattered across a region marked by the broad drainage of Saltwater Wash, which cuts through the central portion of the map. Transport through this sparsely settled part of Arizona is defined by a network of local roads such as Indian Rte 6720 and Indian Rte 6721, which follow the natural contours of the land to connect these vital water sources.
