2021 Map of Cleator

About this map

Cleator and Cordes represent the primary settlements in this portion of Yavapai County, where the high desert terrain transitions into the southeastern reaches of the Prescott National Forest. The landscape is defined by a dense network of seasonal water sources and tanks, such as Blue-Bell Tank Number Two and Upper RR Tank, which are essential for livestock and land management in this arid environment. Significant drainage systems including Bumble Bee Creek, Turkey Creek, and Crazy Basin Creek carve through the geography, flanked by prominent elevations like Cordes Peak and Townsend Butte. Evidence of rural development is visible in the suburban-style street names of Spring Valley, contrasting with the more dispersed roads and trails like the Black Canyon Trail that traverse the surrounding hills and canyons, including Cedar Canyon.
