About this map

Double A Ranch and Buss Ranch anchor this livestock-focused landscape within the southern reaches of Kaibab National Forest. The map documents a complex water management system essential for high-desert ranching, featuring dozens of named stock tanks such as Reneke Tank, Rouquette Tank, and the Barney Dry Dam. The terrain is defined by dramatic volcanic and erosional features, from the heights of Hearst Mountain and Fitzgerald Hill to the depths of Cataract Creek.

Industrial activity is evident along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line, which skirts the southern boundary near Corva Hill. Extensive Quarries and a Cinder Pit near Antelope Hill suggest a landscape shaped by resource extraction. The presence of the Salt River Meridian and the county line between Coconino and Yavapai counties provides clear surveying context for this mid-century western interior.
