About this map

The high-altitude community of Alpine sits at the confluence of several vital water sources, including the San Francisco River and its nearby tributaries. Located within the Apache National Forest, the landscape is defined by its volcanic geology and strategic mountain passes. Features such as Porcelain Sink, Spit Sink, and DT Sink point to the area's unique karst-like drainage patterns, while the concentration of stock tanks like Reynolds Tank and Franks Tank underscores the legacy of high-country ranching.

Elevations rise sharply at Tenney Mtn and South Mtn, with the deep incision of Bull Canyon providing a natural corridor through the terrain. The presence of the Apache Co Greenlee Co boundary line in the southern portion of the quadrangle marks the edge of the high plateau before the terrain drops toward the Gila watershed. Significant meadows such as Campbell Flat and Williams Valley represent the primary open spaces amidst the dense timber of this northeastern Arizona wilderness.
