1947 Map of Turkey Canyon

About this map

The Prescott National Forest dominates this landscape in Yavapai County, where steep terrain and water management define the settlement patterns. Much of the northern half is marked as an Unsurveyed Area, reflecting the challenging topography of the mid-century Southwest. In the more developed southern sections, seasonal or high-country outposts like Happy Camp and Lower Corrals appear alongside water infrastructure such as Hutch Tank and Section 10 Tank. The presence of the Luis Maria Baca Float No 5 boundary indicates the lasting influence of 19th-century Spanish land grants on Arizona's land distribution. Natural water sources like Turkey Creek and Pine Creek carve through the elevation, while signs of early resource extraction are visible at Iron Well.
