2011 Map of Pinal Ranch

About this map

Top-of-the-World and Pinal Ranch sit atop the high mountain landscape east of the Dripping Spring Mountains, where the high desert meets steep canyons and drainage basins. The area is defined by a series of high-altitude ranching outposts, including Clark Ranch and the Sixty Six Ranch, situated among prominent peaks like Signal Mountain and Hutton Peak. Water sources are vital in this arid terrain, as evidenced by the numerous named springs and tanks such as Hairpin Spring, Coyote Spring, and Simpson Lake. The topography is etched by deep cuts like Iron Canyon and Lyons Canyon, while the north is marked by the curiously named Bloody Tanks Wash. Movement through the region is guided by routes like Dripping Spring Rd, connecting remote sites like Bellevue and Hagen Ranch across a network of washes and gulches that feed into Pinto Creek.
