1967 Map of Dugas

About this map

Dugas and the T Anchor Ranch sit at the northern edge of this high-elevation landscape, where the administrative presence of the Sycamore Ranger Station oversees a transition between the Prescott National Forest and the Tonto National Forest. The map detail reveals a complex network of water management essential for ranching and forest operations, featuring numerous catchments like Chalk Tank, Mesa Tank, and Rock Spr Draw Tank. Drainage systems including Little Sycamore Creek and Long Gulch carve through the terrain, punctuated by high points such as Rice Peak and Granite Peak. Evidence of earlier land use appears at the Old Mine Windmill, while several springs, including Willow Spring and Silver Creek Spring, indicate the vital natural water sources that sustained this remote Arizona interior.
