2014 Map of Willow Springs

About this map

Hidden Springs Mission sits at the foot of the Echo Cliffs in this modern survey of the Painted Desert region. The landscape is defined by the sharp verticality of Hamblin Ridge and the winding course of Hamblin Wash, which parallels the modern corridor of Us-89. Water sources are the critical landmarks for this high-desert environment, with numerous named points including Blue Spring, Government Spring, and Jack Homer Spring dotting the base of the cliffs. The settlement at Willow Springs represents a localized hub of activity, where the desert floor meets the rising sandstone formations. The map also records the Bureau of Indian Affairs road network, including Bia-6133 and Bia-23, providing a clear record of modern accessibility and land management within the reservation boundaries.
