About this map

Cibecue sits at the base of a complex network of canyons and ridges in Navajo County, where Bia-12 and Bia-34 intersect. The landscape is defined by its water management, evidenced by numerous tanks like Cement Trough Canyon Tank, Spotted Mountain Tank, and Lonely Mountain Tank. These features suggest a landscape managed for livestock or water conservation amidst the high-relief terrain of Spotted Mountain and Grasshopper Butte.

The drainage patterns of Cibecue Cr and Spring Cr carve through distinct geological formations, including Ivins Canyon and Truax Canyon. Notable high points like Caddo Point and Lonely Mtn provide orientation markers within this dissected plateau. The presence of springs, such as Forty-two Spring and Cement Trough Spring, highlights the critical importance of reliable water sources in this arid environment.
