2004 Map of Young
USGS Topo · Published 2006About this map
Pleasant Valley and the settlement of Young serve as the focal points of this high-elevation basin within the Tonto National Forest. The landscape is a complex network of drainages and mesas, where livestock management and water access are central to the local economy, evidenced by numerous tanks and springs like Hog Canyon Tank and Scarlet Spring. Significant infrastructure supports the community, including the Pleasant Valley Sch and a system of levees protecting the valley floor from seasonal runoff. Historically, the area is defined by its isolation and topographical boundaries, such as Squaw Mesa and Cow Flat Mountain. The map details transition points like the Transfer Station and a Gravel Pit, alongside land markers like the local Cem and an isolated Grave, reflecting the sparse but enduring human presence in this Gila County interior.
