As best I can determine, "Strayhorse" was originally the name applied to the whole canyon. There is a campground (which also shows up on the topos) which is far and away the most common reference to the placename. There was also, once, a sawmill in the area, and there are a couple of buildings, about half a mile from each other and back in the woods, whihc are also on the topos. One is definitely a ranch, and the other is unclear. But again, I cannot find anything testifying to this as a settlement: every reference is consistent with it being thought of as a general locale.

- Redirect. There is also Strayhorse creek, which I believe is a tributary of Blue River (Arizona), but it's not mentioned there. I found some newspaper articles that refer to Strayhorse as a place, such as "Fall has arrived at Strayhorse" [1], and "Elk concentrated below rim between Rose peak and Strayhorse" [2]. It's not mentioned in U.S. Route 191 which is the road through the area either. I think a redirect would be useful if someone was trying to find this place, so adding a mention in Greenlee County, Arizona is probably the best target. MB 04:13, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete or Redirect It's definitely a local landmark, but there's no sign of a community here and not enough coverage to meet GNG. –dlthewave ☎ 16:42, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
