1992 Map of Holmes Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1997

About this map

Och Oco National Forest lands dominate this high-desert topography, where water management defines the human footprint on the landscape. The map centers on the historical industry at the Old Horton Mill (Site), located along Cricket Creek. A complex system of catchments and stock ponds, including the Horton Mill Reservoir and Silver Reservoir, illustrates the essential infrastructure required for ranching and forestry in this arid terrain. The landscape is carved by significant drainages such as Holmes Canyon and Winslow Canyon, leading up to prominent landmarks like Bald Butte. The western portion is characterized by the expansive Pine Creek Spring Basin, while long ridges like Sundown Ridge and Elliott Ridge provide natural boundaries for the forest's timber and grazing lands.
