2017 Map of Valencia Spring

About this map

Valencia Spring and several other natural water sources define the geography of this Harding County landscape, where the high plains meet the intricate drainage patterns of Carrizo Canyon. The map reveals a remote ranching environment organized by the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries like t21n r28e carving the territory into a grid. Human presence is sparse but specific, centered around landmarks like the Clavel Ranch Airport and a network of rural roads such as Miller Ranch Rd and Dehaven Rd. Seasonal watercourses like Carrizo Cr and Sabino Cr wind through the southern draws, while Spear Draw dominates the northwest. The presence of Virgin Spring, El Toro Spring, and Alamoso Spring underscores the critical importance of reliable water in this arid region, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure of 21st-century high-desert life.
