2021 Map of Stinking Springs

About this map

Stinking Springs and the surrounding high desert terrain define this portion of Apache County, where the Little Colorado River winds through a landscape marked by volcanic formations and ephemeral basins. The geographic character of the region is centered on drainage and water storage, with the river joined by Concho Cr as they traverse the broad expanse of Hunt Valley. Prominent landmarks such as Stinking Springs Mtn and Volcanic Mtn provide significant elevation changes against the relatively flat drainage basins of Soda Lake and Rogers Lake. These features, along with the presence of Red Tank, illustrate the critical importance of water management and natural catchment in this arid Arizona environment. Transportation is anchored by the corridor of 180 and Alt 180, which connect these remote topographical features to the wider region.
