2014 Map of Pinedale

About this map

The Mogollon Plateau and the southern reaches of the Sitgreaves National Forest define the high country landscape of this Navajo County region. Settlement is clustered around the communities of Pinedale, Linden, and Burton, which are connected by a network of ranch and forest roads like Pinedale Rd and State Hwy 260. This map illustrates the vital importance of water management in the arid Arizona uplands, marked by an extensive system of catchments such as Turkey Lake, Mudhole Tank, and the Section Thirty Five Tank. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages like Bull Ranch Draw and Wilson Draw, which descend from prominent landmarks including Juniper Point and the high elevations of Juniper Ridge. These features indicate a history of ranching and forestry where topography dictated the path of travel and the location of local homesteads.
