2014 Map of Chino Valley North

About this map

The Verde River originates in this high-desert corridor where the Big Chino Valley and Little Chino Valley meet. This 2014 survey documents a critical hydrological transition point at Sullivan Lake and the nearby Del Rio Springs, features that have historically sustained life in this arid region of Yavapai County. The settlement pattern is defined by the growing residential community of Chino Valley in the south and the established center of Paulden to the north, both linked by a grid of numbered roads such as W Road 3 N and W Road 5 N. To the northeast, the terrain rises toward the volcanic landforms of Malapai Ridge, while the eastern boundary is shaped by the Prescott National Forest. The map also details local water management through features like Boundary Tank and Duck Tank, essential for ranching and forest service in the high plateau.
