About this map

Aripine sits at the heart of this high-plateau landscape, characterized by a complex network of ephemeral water management and seasonal drainage. Part of the Sitgreaves National Forest, the terrain is defined by its transition toward the Mogollon Plateau in the south. The mapping reveals a distinct ranching infrastructure, where numerous named catchments like Headquarters Tank, Reidhead Tank, and Bert Pierce Tank serve as vital landmarks across the dry landscape.

Drainage systems such as Pierce Wash, Phoenix Park Wash, and Long Hollow carve through the area, dictating the placement of primitive roads and passes. Local travel is facilitated by named routes like Aripine Rd and West Aripine, crossing through topographic features like Pinon Pass. The arrangement of these tanks and washes reflects a long history of land use on the Oklahoma Flat Draw, where water security has shaped every settlement and trail.
