2011 Map of Dane Canyon

About this map

Holder Cabin and Buck Springs Cabin sit within a high-elevation landscape defined by the Mogollon Rim's intricate drainage systems. This 2011 survey illustrates a network of named springs and draws that supported early cattle ranching and homesteading, including Pinchot Spring, McClintock Spring, and Barbershop Spring. The terrain is characterized by steep ridges and deep canyons, most notably Dane Canyon and Fred Haught Canyon, which are framed by landforms like Buck Springs Ridge and Hospital Ridge. The southern edge of the map follows the winding Rim Rd, a critical transit corridor along the edge of the plateau. Notable water features such as Dude Lake and the upper reaches of Bonita Creek underscore the importance of water management in this arid environment, marked further by artificial catchments like Yeager Tank and Nonsuitable Tank.
