The Big Springs Ranger Station is a ranger station located in Kaibab National Forest near Big Springs, Arizona. The ranger station was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1934. The complex includes a house, an office building, and a barn with an attached corral; while these are the only contributing structures to the district, it also includes a number of outbuildings. U.S. Forest Service architects designed the buildings in a Bungalow style characteristic of Forest Service architectural plans during the 1930s.[2]

The ranger station was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 10, 1993.[1]
