2011 Map of The Rincon

About this map

Cottonwood Canyon carves a path through this high desert terrain in Apache County, defining a landscape shaped by drainage and sparse water resources. The topography is marked by distinctive landforms such as The Rincon and The Point, which serve as primary navigation markers in an otherwise open expanse. Evidence of ranching and land management is central to the area's layout, indicated by widely spaced water sources including Callero Well, Middle Well, and the Big Pit Tank located to the southeast. These features reflect the practicalities of livestock management in a territory where permanent surface water is rare. Infrastructure is minimal, anchored primarily by the route of County Rd A001, which provides the main corridor of travel through this remote portion of northeastern Arizona.
