About this map

Aguila Valley characterizes this arid landscape in Yavapai County, where the topography is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Sols Wash and its various tributaries. The terrain transitions toward higher ground at Merritt Pass and the southern extent of the Divide, marking a significant geographic boundary in the region. Transportation is facilitated by two primary corridors, roads 71 and 93, which intersect in the northern portion of the map near Martin Creek. The area is notably punctuated by numerous water storage features essential for land management and livestock, such as Mexican Joe Tank, Stockyard Tank, and Big Pemberton Tank. These man-made tanks, often named for local figures or specific uses, illustrate the historical reliance on catchment systems in the high desert of Arizona.
