2014 Map of Stinking Springs

About this map

Little Colorado River meanders across this high-desert landscape in northern Arizona, shaping the hydrology of a region marked by ephemeral water and volcanic landforms. The ranching outpost at Greer Place sits west of Soda Lake, while the eponymous Stinking Springs and Stinking Springs Mtn dominate the northern portion of the quadrangle. The terrain transitions from the broad Hunt Valley to the dramatic heights of Volcanic Mtn and Black Ridge. Transportation is defined by the corridor of Us-180 and its alternate route, Az-180-Alt, which connect these scattered landmarks across the open range. Local drainage is further defined by Concho Cr and several distinct catchments like Rogers Lake and the Red Tank, reflecting the critical importance of water management in this arid environment.
