2018 Map of Point of Pines East

About this map

Natanes Plateau and the Nantac Rim dominate the high-altitude geography of this southeastern Arizona territory. The landscape is defined by its water management and sparse backcountry outposts, such as the Point of Pines settlement and the remote Picket Trail Dugout. These features suggest a history of seasonal ranching and rugged land use, supported by a network of named livestock tanks and springs including Salt Shed Tank, Maggie Jones Tank, and Turkey Spring. Drainage patterns like Point of Pines Cr and Cienega Cr carve through the open spaces of Big Prairie, while a series of county roads and the Black River Rd provide the primary access through the steep terrain and plateau flats.
