2012 Map of Cornville

About this map

The Verde River and Oak Cr converge in this high-desert landscape, where agricultural water management defines the settlement patterns. Traditional irrigation is evident through the winding paths of the Cornville Ditch, Cottonwood Ditch, and OK Ditch, which support small communities and ranching operations. The confluence area includes established locales like Bridgeport and Verde, while smaller settlements such as Bignotti and Jordan sit along the riparian corridors. Cultural landmarks like the Middle Verde Indian Cem and the Cloverleaf Ranch provide evidence of diverse land use and historical heritage in this Yavapai County region. Rising above the river valleys, the terrain is marked by prominent features like Sheepshead Mountain and Sugarloaf, separated by deep cuts such as Black Canyon and Wilbur Canyon. Transportation networks like Old Hwy 279 and the Verde Santa Fe Pkwy connect these canyon-side communities to the broader region.
