2017 Map of Buckhorn

About this map

Buckhorn serves as the central hub of this high-desert landscape in Grant County, where the topography is defined by the drainage systems of Duck Cr and Buckhorn Cr. The settlement is surrounded by a complex network of canyons, including Little Pat Canyon, Big Pat Canyon, and Foster Canyon, which carve through the arid terrain. To the northeast, the boundary of the Gila National Forest marks a transition into protected lands, featuring landmarks like Mud Spring Mesa and the aptly named Mud Spring. Water management is a visible priority for local ranching and land use, evidenced by features such as George Clark Tank and Horse Lake Tank. The map also captures the distinct land divisions of the Public Land Survey System, with numerous canyons and draws named after early settlers or geographical features, such as Shields Canyon and Brown Canyon.
