2018 Map of Stinking Springs Mountain

About this map

Stinking Springs Mtn and the adjacent South Mtn rise above a landscape defined by seasonal water management and the meandering path of the Zuñi River. Located in Apache County, this area of Arizona exhibits a pattern of cattle-ranching infrastructure common in the high desert, where named water catchments like Tomahawk Tank, Indian Tank, and Grassy Knoll Tank serve as vital landmarks for navigation and land use. The topography is split by the Seven Springs Wash, which drains toward the north through Surprise Valley. The land is meticulously gridded by township and range lines, reflecting the formal division of the public domain in this corner of the Southwest. Significant elevation changes are marked by North Mtn, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding valley floors.
