2021 Map of Anvil Rock

About this map

Prescott National Forest land dominates this high-altitude landscape in Yavapai County, where the eastern slopes of the Juniper Mountains meet a network of cattle tanks and forest tracks. The 2021 topography reveals a land managed for water and range, centered around the named settlement of Anvil Rock and the southern cluster of Hope Wash. Vital water sources for livestock and wildlife are scattered across the terrain, including Cole Campbell Tank, Henry Brown Tank, and the Smith and Evans Tank situated near the forest boundary. Historical movement through the area is traced along established corridors such as Anvil Rock Rd, Sidewinder Rd, and Eight Brothers Rd, which navigate the complex drainage systems of Muddy Wash and Muddy Cr. The transition from the National Forest into the surrounding range illustrates the enduring ranching character of this section of the Arizona backcountry.
