About this map

Buckskin Lookout Tower stands as a prominent sentinel over this high-country landscape in Navajo County, where a network of forest roads and trails navigates a complex system of draws and ridges. The terrain is defined by the legacy of ranching and seasonal water management, with named sites such as Bunger Ranch, Holcomb Ranch, and Blevins Ranch scattered throughout the territory. This 2011 survey reveals an intricate infrastructure of livestock tanks and natural water sources, including Outlaw Seep, Whiskey Spring, and Hidden Spring, which were vital for sustaining local operations in an arid climate.

Transportation through the region follows historic routes like the Mogollon Rim Rd and Old Verde Rd, cutting across dramatic features like Whiskey Canyon and Outlaw Draw. The map documents the persistent human footprint on the land, from the W Buckskin Trl to the various divisions of Buckskin Wash, providing a clear record of how modern forest management and traditional ranching life intersect on the Mogollon Rim.
