2021 Map of Popcorn Canyon

About this map

Salt River Canyon dominates the northeastern corner of this Gila County terrain, where the Salt River carves through the Salt River Valley. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, including Popcorn Canyon, Bronco Canyon, and the winding course of Cave Cr. Human presence is marked primarily by ranching infrastructure, such as Victor Pasture and a series of named water catchments crucial for survival in the arid environment. These include Dry Lake Tank, Martin Luther Tank, and Fiftysix Tank. Reliable water sources are further identified at Popcorn Spring, Cave Creek Spring, and Little Trough Spring, providing a detailed record of the essential water points used throughout these canyons.
