2012 Map of Buck Pasture Canyon

About this map

Old Arizona Catchment and Winter Road Catchment are critical water management features in this arid landscape, highlighting the infrastructure required for land use in Coconino County. The topography is defined by the Buckskin Mountains, which give rise to complex drainages like Buck Pasture Canyon and White Sage Wash. These features, alongside Rock Canyon Reservoir, suggest a history of seasonal water management and stock raising. Transportation is marked by established routes such as Old Arizona Rd and Winter Rd, which navigate the elevation changes between Summit Valley and deep incisions like Orderville Canyon. This survey captures the intersection of natural terrain and intentional water containment, from the broad Round Valley to the uniquely named Dead Man Pockets.
