1972 Map of Dane Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Mogollon Rim marks a dramatic geological divide across this 1972 survey, separating the Coconino National Forest on the high plateau from the Tonto National Forest below. This escarpment defines the landscape, with deep drainages like Dane Canyon and Leonard Canyon cutting through the terrain. The map records important markers of frontier history, including the Battle of Big Dry Wash Historical Marker near General Springs, commemorating one of the final major conflicts between the U.S. Cavalry and the Apache. Settlement traces are sparse but significant for local history, featuring the Buck Springs Guard Station and the Holder Cabin (Site). A dense network of springs, such as Whistling Spring and Barbershop Spring, provides vital water sources in this high-altitude environment, while the presence of the Highline Trail and Control Road suggests the early infrastructure developed for forest management and ranching.
