1980 Map of Scratch Canyon

About this map

Luis Maria Baca Float No 5 dominates the northern landscape of this Yavapai County region, representing a unique chapter in Arizona land grant history. This territory is defined by a sparse ranching infrastructure where water management is paramount, evidenced by a dense network of catchment features such as Yellow Hammer Tank, Mexican-Nest Tank, and 7 UP Pasture Tank. The isolation of the terrain is punctuated by the presence of Halfway House, a focal point for travelers navigating the canyons and mesas between the Prescott National Forest and the high plateaus.
