2018 Map of Cleator

About this map

Cleator and Cordes anchor the southern reaches of this 2018 survey, reflecting a landscape defined by ranching water sources and rugged canyon terrain. The territory is heavily influenced by the borders of the Prescott National Forest, where elevation changes are marked by prominent landmarks such as Townsend Butte and Cordes Peak. A complex network of drainage systems, including Turkey Creek and Bumble Bee Creek, carves through the central hills, supported by numerous localized water features like Blue-Bell Tank Number Two and Yellow Jacket Tank. Further north, the settlement of Spring Valley sits near the intersection of various ranch roads and the Black Canyon Trail. This modern documentation captures the evolution of the area's transport, showing the intricate mesh of Forest Service roads and ranch-access routes like Antelope Creek Road and Bensch Ranch Boulevard that connect these high-desert communities.
