About this map

Sycamore Canyon carves a dramatic path through this high-country landscape at the junction of three major public lands. The terrain is defined by the convergence of the Kaibab National Forest, Prescott National Forest, and Coconino National Forest. This intersection of forest boundaries highlights the complex administrative history of the Arizona backcountry.

Surface water is primarily represented by a network of livestock or wildlife water sources, such as Lonesome Pocket Tank, Indian Tank, and Henderson Tank, which supported the region's ranching interests. High points like Casner Mtn and the broad Sycamore Basin overlook the winding drainage of Sycamore Cr. The map also captures the Coconino Co and Yavapai Co line, providing a precise record of these county borders within the rugged forest interior.
