2014 Map of Anvil Rock

About this map

Prescott National Forest dominates the high desert terrain of Yavapai County, where the eastern foothills of the Juniper Mountains descend into a complex drainage system. The landscape is defined by the prominent Anvil Rock formation and a network of seasonal watercourses including Muddy Cr, Hope Wash, and Muddy Wash. A distinct pattern of cattle ranching and water management is evident through the numerous named stock tanks scattered across the quadrangle, such as Smith and Evans Tank, Cole Campbell Tank, and Windy Roberts Tank. These features, often named for local ranching families, highlight the vital role of water security in this arid region. Remote access is facilitated by primitive routes like Ponderosa Springs Rd and Anvil Rock Rd, which wind through the township boundaries of T19N and T20N.
