2014 Map of Date

About this map

Date sits as a primary point of reference in this arid landscape of western Yavapai County, where the topography is defined by the high elevations of the Date Creek Mountains. The area's complex drainage system is centered on the central artery of Date Cr, joined by its significant tributaries including N Fork Date Cr and S Fork Date Cr. To the northwest, the terrain drops into Black Canyon, while Black Mesa Wash carves through the western slopes. The map reveals a network of rural routes such as S Date Creek Rd and S Stetson Ranch Rd, which provide access to these remote desert canyonlands. This 2014 survey documents the enduring physical character of the Arizona backcountry, from the deep incisions of Cottonwood Canyon to the seasonal watercourses of Waterman Cr and Lawler Cr.
