2014 Map of Seven Springs

About this map

Milky Wash and Beaver Dam Wash carve through this high-desert landscape in northern Apache County, revealing a terrain defined by intermittent water sources. Named for the vital Seven Springs feature in the southeast, the area is characterized by an extensive system of catchment basins or "tanks," many bearing the names of local figures such as Pat Hughes Tank, Reuell Jarvis Tank, and Pablo Tank. These water features, alongside others like Red Lake Tank and Grassy Knoll Tank, indicate the historical reliance on managed water for ranching and survival in this arid environment. The map shows the region during the early 21st century, where modern thoroughfares like Co Road 7230 intersect with traditional land divisions across four different townships, reflecting a sparsely populated but carefully utilized portion of the Arizona plateau.
