About this map

Dugas sits at the center of a rugged high-desert landscape where the Prescott National Forest meets the Tonto National Forest. This 2021 survey documents an area defined by its complex drainage network and water sources, essential for ranching and survival in Yavapai County. Deep canyons such as Reno Canyon and Tule Canyon carve through the terrain, while prominent heights like Rice Peak and Granite Peak provide orientation for those navigating the backcountry.

The presence of numerous developed water sources like Highball Spring, Graveyard Spring, and several named tanks—including Upper Dry Pasture Tank and Holdin Pasture Tank—points to the long history of land use in this arid region. The map also traces the Sycamore Trl, offering a detailed view of how access paths negotiate the steep transitions between mesa tops like Marlow Mesa and the creek beds below.
