1965 Map of Buckhorn Mountain

About this map

Coconino National Forest defines the rugged geography of this high-country survey, split by the Yavapai Co Coconino Co boundary. The landscape is dominated by significant relief, featuring Buckhorn Mountain and the prominent Sugarloaf peak. Human activity is marked by isolated outposts such as Buckhorn Ranch and the V Lazy Y Cabin, supported by a dense network of upland water catchments including Windmill Tank and Red Hill Tank. The drainage pattern is defined by deep incisions like West Clear Creek and Long North Fork Canyon, which carve through the plateau. A system of historical paths, including the Deadwood Trail and Walker Basin Trail, provides a look at the movement through this high basin before modern infrastructure took hold, centering on the management of livestock and forest resources.
