2018 Map of Brooklyn Peak

About this map

Tonto National Forest lands dominate this high-desert landscape, defined by a complex network of canyons and high mesas. The terrain rises sharply toward Brooklyn Peak and the prominent Six Bar Ridge in the south, while the northern reaches are marked by the broad expanse of Perry Mesa and Cornstalk Flat. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape where water is the primary organizing force, evidenced by the numerous named tanks and springs used for livestock and wildlife management. Features such as Rosalie Spring, Sycamore Spring, and Hutch Tank dot the drainage basins of Copper Cr and the Middle Fork Squaw Cr. The presence of FR 269 indicates the limited vehicular access through this rugged interior of Yavapai County, where topographic landmarks like Goat Peak and Mesa Butte served as essential navigational points for generations of ranchers and travelers.
