2018 Map of Aripine

About this map

The high-desert ranching landscape of the Mogollon Plateau is the focus of this Navajo County survey, centered on the historic settlement of Aripine. Located within the boundaries of the Sitgreaves National Forest, the region is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainage systems and livestock infrastructure. Numerous family-named and functional water sources, such as Oklahoma Flat Draw, Mikes Tank, and Headquarters Tank, suggest a land used primarily for grazing and cattle operations. The map details the intersection of state routes 277, 377, and 260, which provide the primary access through this remote highland. Long-established waterways like Pierce Wash and Phoenix Park Wash cut through the terrain, while landmarks like Rice Seeps indicate the vital importance of natural water points in this arid environment.
