About this map

Colorado City sits at the base of the dramatic Vermilion Cliffs, serving as the primary hub for this high-desert region on the Arizona-Utah border. The 2014 landscape reveals a structured grid of residential streets like E Mohave Ave and Apple Ave, which contrast with the expansive canyons and plateaus to the east. The township is supported by water features like Short Creek Reservoir Number Two and springs such as Cottonwood Spring Number Three tucked into the cliffside.

Further south, the community of Centennial Park and the settlement at Cane Beds dot the basin floor, connected by Az-389 and rural routes like Cane Beds Rd. The topography is defined by sharp elevation changes, notably at Cottonwood Point and Scotts Point, where the land drops into the drainage system of Cottonwood Wash. This area represents a unique pocket of desert settlement, where irrigation from the cliffs sustains life between the high plateaus and the lower basin.
