2018 Map of Chino Valley North

About this map

Verde River and Granite Creek converge in this northern reach of the high desert, where the historical settlement of Del Rio sits near the vital Del Rio Springs. This area represents a significant hydrological transition, where the Big Chino Valley meets the Little Chino Valley, creating a landscape defined by seasonal water flow and ranching history. The northern edge of Chino Valley shows a structured grid of residential development and rural roads like N Old Hwy 89 and W Frontier Rd, contrasting with the more open terrain to the east. The northeast corner is dominated by the Prescott National Forest, while the southern expanse reaches into the northern fringe of Lonesome Valley. Numerous water management features like Sullivan Lake, Boundary Tank, and Duck Tank reflect the enduring importance of water rights and livestock management in this Yavapai County corridor.
