1990 Map of Young

About this map

Young serves as the focal point of this highland survey, situated within the broad expanse of Pleasant Valley and surrounded by the Tonto National Forest. The settlement's infrastructure is clearly defined, featuring the Pleasant Valley Sch, a Pleasant Valley Ranger Station, and a central Cem. The landscape is dominated by complex drainage systems and significant terrain features like Squaw Mesa and Squaw Peak. A network of water management features, including several Levees and numerous cattle tanks such as Hog Canyon Tank and Double Tank, illustrate the area's reliance on managed water sources for ranching. Transportation is primarily facilitated by a series of 4wd tracks and a dedicated Landing Strip, emphasizing the area's relative isolation. To the south, several isolated burial sites, labeled simply as Grave and Graveyard, reflect the long-standing occupation of this remote Arizona basin.
