2021 Map of Seven Springs

About this map

Milky Wash and Seven Springs Wash define this desert landscape in western Apache County, where water management is the primary marker of human presence. This 2021 survey reveals an intricate network of earthen tanks and draws, likely supporting cattle ranching across the high plateau. Family and place names are etched into the terrain through features like Potter Place Draw, Reuell Jarvis Tank, and Pat Hughes Tank, indicating a legacy of local land use. The topography is further characterized by drainage systems like Beaver Dam Wash and small landmarks such as Grassy Knoll Tank. At the eastern edge of the quadrangle, the namesake Seven Springs provides a rare point of perennial interest in an otherwise arid environment primarily accessed via Co RD 7210.
