2014 Map of Velasquez Butte

About this map

Velasquez Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this high-altitude landscape where the White River and Black River define the local topography. This 2014 survey documents a critical network of natural water sources and man-made tanks essential for land management and ranching in Navajo County. Features such as Benedict Spring, Navajo Bill Spring, and Eleven-mile Spring dot the terrain, alongside numerous livestock watering points like the Velasquez Tank and Pine Flat Tank. The presence of several Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Bia-2 and Bia-5, indicates the area's importance within tribal lands. Significant landforms like the Sevenmile Rim and White Cow Canyon provide a detailed look at the drainage patterns of Nash Cr and Priebe Cr, while Indian Flat marks one of the few level expanses in this complex system of canyons and ridges.
