2013 Map of Sulphur Spring

About this map

Sulphur Spring and Stinking Springs are central to this high-desert landscape in San Juan County, illustrating the vital role of water sources in an arid region defined by intermittent drainages. The map reveals a land utilized for both traditional passage and modern industry, with the Red Rock Hwy cutting across the terrain toward the Shiprock Airstrip. The southwestern corner is punctuated by Cactus Peak, providing a clear topographic landmark above the complex network of arroyos including Many Devils Wash and Dead Mans Wash. To the southeast, the Table Mesa Oil Field indicates the ongoing economic significance of the area's mineral resources. For those interested in the recreational or logistical history of the region, the location of the Sulphur Spring Campground provides a specific point of human activity near these distinctive mineral springs.
