About this map

Martin Mountain and the high plateaus of the Prescott National Forest anchor this high-desert landscape in central Arizona. The area is defined by a complex network of canyons and mesas, including the prominent Sycamore Mesa and the deep cuts of Dougherty Canyon and Black Canyon. This 2014 survey reveals an environment where water management is critical to land use, evidenced by the numerous named stock tanks and springs scattered across the terrain, such as Bar U Bar Tank, Hidden Spring, and the Young Mountain Number Two Tank.

Settlement is sparse, with the locality of Wood Trap and the Bubby Buttes serving as distinct landmarks among the ridges. The presence of Ferguson Valley Rd and Ranch Rd highlights the continued importance of ranching and forest access in this region. The map also detail the headwaters and drainage patterns of Sycamore Cr and Wood Cr, illustrating the rugged hydrology that shaped the local topography.
