2021 Map of North Mill Well

About this map

Petrified Forest National Park occupies the southwestern corner of this high-desert landscape in Apache County, where the terrain is defined by an intricate network of intermittent watercourses. The drainage of Dead Wash dominates the central corridor, joined by tributaries like Lithodendron Wash and Wide Ruin Wash further north. This area relies on a system of livestock water management, evidenced by named features such as North Tank, Mark One Tank, and Mark Two Tank. The namesake North Mill Well sits near the crossing of Pinta Rd, indicating a vital point of water access in an otherwise arid expanse. To the northeast, the elevation rises toward Padres Mesa, while the southern border is traced by Sweetwater Ranch Rd near Big Tank and Rattlesnake Tank.
