About this map

Dugas serves as a central point of reference in this late-1960s study of the high desert and canyon country where the Prescott National Forest meets the Tonto National Forest. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of water management features essential for ranching and forest service operations, including the Sycamore Ranger Station and various livestock infrastructure like Dry Pasture Tank and Holdin Pasture Tank.

Remote ranching life is evident at the T Anchor Ranch and Indian Creek Ranch, while the surrounding terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Rice Peak and Granite Peak. A labyrinth of canyons and gulches, from Cow Gulch to Long Gulch, dictates the movement across the land, often navigated by established jeep trails. The mapping of named water sources like Highball Spring and the Old Mine Windmill provides specific points of interest for those tracing the history of land use in this arid region of Yavapai County.
