2018 Map of The Rincon

About this map

The Rincon defines the center of this high-altitude landscape along the border of Arizona and New Mexico, where deep desert canyons cut through the arid terrain. The boundary between Apache County, Arizona and Catron County, New Mexico runs north to south, intersecting prominent geographic features like The Point. Water resources, though sparse, are carefully noted on this 2018 survey, including Cottonwood Canyon in the north and Mauey Wash in the northeast corner. Modern access is represented by Co Rd A001, which winds through the central valley. This map is particularly useful for understanding the drainage patterns of the region, anchored by the presence of Big Rit Tank, a critical water collection point for local ranching and wildlife in an otherwise dry environment.
