2011 Map of The Rincon

About this map

The Rincon defines the central landscape of this high-desert quadrangle in Apache County during the early 21st century. The terrain is marked by the prominence of The Point, overlooking a network of ephemeral drainages and unpaved travel routes that characterize this portion of the Arizona-New Mexico border region. Human infrastructure is sparse, represented primarily by water management features like Big Pit Tank and the local transit corridor of Co RD a001. The map reveals a specialized land-use pattern where water security is paramount for ranching or land management in an arid environment, showing how modern topographical surveys continue to track the essential resources and landmarks of the American Southwest.
