2020 Map of Buckhorn

About this map

Buckhorn lies at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Grant County, where the settlement is surrounded by a complex network of canyons and seasonal drainage draws. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the heights of Mud Spring Mesa to the depths of Hells Hole and Little Pat Canyon. A portion of the Gila National Forest occupies the northeastern corner, indicating the transition from open grazing lands to protected wilderness. The geography reveals a ranching-focused economy reliant on water management features like George Clark Tank and Horse Lake Tank. Dozens of local roads, including Duck Creek Rd and Horse Lake Rd, connect isolated ranching sites and family-named landmarks such as Bell Canyon and Shields Canyon, providing a detailed view of the rural infrastructure in the early twenty-first century.
