1988 Map of Buck Pasture Canyon

About this map

Kaibab National Forest dominates this Coconino County landscape, where deep drainage systems like Buck Pasture Canyon and Water Canyon carve through the plateau. In the late 1980s, this area of the Grand Canyon National Game Preserve was managed for both wildlife and limited water resources, evidenced by several small-scale catchment features. Named locations such as Wagon Hollow and Dead Man Pockets hint at the historical travel through this high-altitude terrain, while the presence of a Guzzler and remote water points like Bentonite Reservoir and Rock Canyon Reservoir illustrate the critical infrastructure required for range management. To the east, the terrain opens into Summit Valley beyond Cooper Ridge, marking a transition in the local topography near White Sage Wash.
