2014 Map of Uranium Spring

About this map

Defiance Plateau terrain dominates this landscape in the Fort Defiance Agency region of Arizona, where the high country is carved by deep drainage networks. The namesake Uranium Spring is located in the northern reaches, while the southeastern portion opens into Oak Spring Valley, where Black Creek flows through distinct canyon formations. This 2014 survey documents the remote road network of the area, including Bia-28 and Bia-12, providing essential context for the high-altitude hydrology of the Navajo Nation. Man-made features like Campus Tank appear alongside natural water sources like W Fork Black Creek and Oak Spring, showing the vital role of these isolated water points in the arid environment. The map captures the intersection of traditional land use and modern infrastructure in the eastern high desert.
