2018 Map of Buck Pasture Canyon

About this map

Kaibab National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Coconino County, where the terrain transitions across the Kaibab Plateau and the Buckskin Mountains. The map reveals a sophisticated system of water management in an arid environment, including the Old Arizona Catchment, Winter Road Catchment, and Rock Canyon Reservoir. These features, along with names like Dead-Man Pockets and Wagon Hollow, reflect the area's history of cattle ranching and early overland travel. Long-distance movement is highlighted by the intersection of the Arizona National Scenic Trail and the Great Western Trail as they pass near Cooper Ridge and Round Valley. This document provides an essential record of the forest service infrastructure and topographic character of the northern Arizona strip just before the end of the second decade of the 21st century.
