About this map

Cottonwood Spring serves as a vital water source in this arid corner of Graham County, where the landscape is defined by a network of deep drainages and cattle tanks. The terrain is carved by substantial watercourses including Willow Cr in the north and the meandering Cienega Cr to the south, which is joined by S-Cienega Cr near Cottonwood Canyon. These intermittent streams dictate the movement of both wildlife and livestock across the high country.

Transportation is limited to a few rugged corridors, most notably 1800 Rd (Eagle Creek Rd), which provides access through the western reaches. The prevalence of named water features like Fourmile Tank, Dry Trap Tank, and Burro Tank highlights the historic importance of water management in this high-mesa environment. To the southeast, the terrain drops toward Eagle Cr and the uniquely named East Fork Potato Patch Draw, illustrating the complex topography of the region's ranching and natural history.
