2018 Map of Sand Springs

About this map

Moenkopi Plateau dominates the northwestern landscape of this Coconino County region, transitioning into the expansive elevations of Garces Mesas to the south. The arid terrain is defined by its intermittent water sources, notably the Dinnebito Wash and Saltwater Wash, which carve drainage patterns across the high desert. At the center of this network lies Sand Springs, a critical focal point for local navigation and water access in a territory where isolated features like Whisky Spring, Drag Spring, and Tishepi Spring serve as essential landmarks. This area is characterized by a sparse but vital infrastructure of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Indian Rte 58 and Indian Rte 6721, which provide the primary transit through the extensive townships and ranges of the Navajo Nation.
