2011 Map of Sontag Creek

About this map

Dads Lookout stands as a prominent vantage point over this section of Gila County, overlooking a network of drainages and seasonal water sources. The landscape is defined by the systems of Sontag Creek and Bear Creek, which converge as they move toward the significant Bear Canyon in the south. Unlike many arid regions where water is scarce, this survey identifies numerous localized water features such as Cienega Spring, Blue River Spring, and White Tail Spring, indicating a terrain where groundwater reaches the surface at specific, historically significant points.
