2014 Map of Young

About this map

The isolated settlement of Young and the surrounding Pleasant Valley are documented here within the expanse of the Tonto National Forest. This high-country landscape is defined by its ranching and frontier character, evidenced by numerous water features such as Mexican Tank and the Vosburg Trick Tank. Local history is anchored at the Perkins Museum, while transportation through the canyons is facilitated by the Globe-Young Hwy Scn and the historic Mail Trail Rd. Significant relief is provided by Bryant Mtn and Squaw Peak, with the drainage of Cherry Creek carving through the center of the sheet. The map reveals the intricate network of canyons including Graveyard Canyon and Sevenmile Canyon, illustrating the topographical challenges and natural resources that have shaped this Gila County community for generations.
