Big Springs Ranger Station

History
Big Springs Ranger Station is a historic ranger station in the Kaibab National Forest near Big Springs, Arizona, built in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the New Deal era. The complex includes a house, office building, barn with an attached corral, and several smaller outbuildings. Designed by U.S. Forest Service architects in the Bungalow style typical of Forest Service planning in the 1930s, it represents both Depression-era conservation work and the architectural approach used for remote administrative sites. Its significance was formally recognized when it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 10, 1993.
