1986 Map of Sheridan Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Prescott National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in the mid-1980s, characterized by a complex network of canyons and mesas used for cattle ranching and resource management. The terrain is defined by the massive Cedar Mesa and the prominent Sheridan Mountain, while the hydrology of the area is supported by a high density of named water sources like Moonshine Springs, Alligator Spring, and Metote Tank. This map documents a transitional period for Arizona's backcountry, where established landmarks such as B T Butte and the Connell Mts overlook a series of modern stock-management features. Local history is etched into the landscape through descriptive place names such as Oregano Basin and Loco Creek, which reflect the early ranching era and the specific flora and experiences of the people who worked these canyons. The presence of Sheridan Lake and various tanks indicates the critical importance of water infrastructure in this arid forest environment.
