About this map

Petrified Forest National Park occupies the eastern expanse of this high-desert survey, where the Petrified Forest National Wilderness boundary delineates protected lands. The landscape is defined by an intricate drainage system, featuring Digger Wash in the north and the convergent East Twin Wash and West Twin Wash to the south.

Water management is the primary evidence of human activity in this arid environment, marked by numerous catchment points such as Big Indian Tank, Rim Tank, and Depot Tank. Local history and archaeological interest are anchored by labeled Ruins and scattered Prospects, while a network of Jeep Trails provides the only access across the remote terrain between Wildhorse Wash and Little Lithodendron Wash.
