About this map

Brooklyn Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape within the Tonto National Forest, where the topography is defined by a series of prominent mesas and deep desert washes. The vast Perry Mesa extends across the western portion of the sheet, providing a stark contrast to the drainage networks of Copper Cr and Hackberry Wash. These seasonal water sources were vital for early cattle ranching and land management, evidenced by the numerous water catchments like Cornstalk Flat Tank and Rockhouse Tank scattered throughout the territory.

Evidence of early travel and ranching infrastructure remains visible through routes like the Bloody Basin road and the Hogan Trl, which navigate the complex terrain. The map details a network of springs, including Sycamore Spring and Rosalie Spring, which historically supported life in this arid region of Yavapai County. The eastern boundary is marked by the distinct elevations of Six Bar Ridge and Rugged Mesa, showing the transition toward the high canyon country.
