2021 Map of Buckhorn Mountain

About this map

The Coconino National Forest defines this high-altitude landscape where the Mogollon Plateau meets deep drainage systems. The map prominently features the historic General Crook Trl, a vital military and supply route through the Arizona territory. This corridor transitions from the flat expanses of Mud Tanks Mesa and Indian Flat into the dramatic descent of West Clear Creek Canyon. The terrain is marked by numerous natural and man-made water catchments, such as Utopia Tank and Salmon Lake, which were essential for supporting livestock and travelers in this arid environment. Significant landmarks like Buckhorn Mtn and Twin Buttes provide vertical relief against the canyon draws of Tule Canyon and Meadow Canyon, illustrating the complex topography used by early ranchers and foresters.
