About this map

Black Canyon and the Agua Fria River anchor this modern landscape at the boundary between Yavapai and Maricopa counties. The settlement pattern of Black Canyon and Rock Springs is defined by the valley floor, where residential streets like Saguaro Dr and Scenic Loop transition into the steep terrain of Black Mesa and the eastern fringes of the Bradshaw Mountains.

South of the primary settlements, the map reveals the locality of Gillette near Moore Gulch, set against a backdrop of deep canyons including Shortys Canyon and Lucky Spring Canyon. This contemporary survey details the extensive Black Canyon Trail system as it winds through the high desert, connecting landmarks such as Williams Mesa and the Black Canyon City Municipal Memorial Park with the surrounding drainage basins of Cottonwood Creek and Little Squaw Creek.
