About this map

Prescott National Forest encompasses the eastern portion of this high-desert landscape in Yavapai County, where the terrain is defined by drainage systems and essential water management features. The area is marked by numerous named catchments such as Cole Campbell Tank, Henry Brown Tank, and the Windy Roberts Tank, illustrating the critical role of water infrastructure in this arid environment. The landscape transitions from the flats near Hope Wash and Muddy Wash toward the rising slopes of the Juniper Mountains in the northeast.

A network of local and forest service roads provides access to the interior, including Anvil Rock Rd and Sidewinder Rd, which navigate around the prominent landmark of Anvil Rock. These routes and the presence of Powerline Two indicate the modern land use patterns within these sprawling townships. Ranching and land management history is evident through family-named features like Smith and Evans Tank, anchoring the map in the localized history of northern Arizona's high country.
