2011 Map of Pinedale

About this map

Pinedale and Burton anchor this high-desert landscape in the early twenty-first century, showing a pattern of settlement and water management characteristic of the Mogollon Rim country. The map documents a complex system of livestock tanks such as Thistle Tank, Railroad Tank, and Brittenham Tank, reflecting the area's ongoing reliance on seasonal runoff captured in local washes. Dramatic relief is marked by Juniper Ridge, topped by the Juniper Ridge Lookout Tower, while deep erosional features like Lewis Canyon and Danish Hollow segment the terrain. Transportation is defined by a mix of established routes like Pinedale Rd and a dense network of forest service and local tracks including Old Settler Trl and Timberland Rd. Near Turkey Lake, the landscape remains relatively open, punctuated by family-named landmarks like Owens Tank and Malone Tank that offer clues to the region's ranching history.
