A spring. In May 1886, Will C. Barnes camped overnight with an old trapper named Woolf, who had just found a clutch of wild turkey eggs. Since the springs had no names, they agreed to call them 'Turkey Springs' (AZ-T101).

Regional Geology
This geological map and associated information on rock units at or nearby to the coordinates given for this locality is based on relatively small scale geological maps provided by various national Geological Surveys. This does not necessarily represent the complete geology at this locality but it gives a background for the region in which it is found.

| Rupelian - Danian 28.1 - 66 Ma ID: 2989032 | Oligocene to Paleocene[?] sedimentary rocks Age: Paleogene (28.1 - 66 Ma) Stratigraphic Name: Chuska Sandstone Description: "Rim gravels". Light colored, weakly to moderately consolidated conglomerate and sandstone deposited largely or entirely before mid-Tertiary volcanism and extensional faulting. Most sediment was deposited by early Cenozoic streams that flowed northeastward onto the Colorado Plateau from areas to the southwest that are now lower in elevation than the Plateau. Sediments of this map unit, other than the Chuska Sandstone in northeasternmost Arizona, are commonly referred to as "rim gravels" because they now rest on or near the Mogollon Rim, which is the southwestern edge of the Colorado Plateau.
