2014 Map of Hell Point

About this map

Verde River drainage patterns and the steep topography of the central Arizona highlands define this area within the Prescott National Forest. The landscape is characterized by a network of seasonal washes and canyons, including the significant Hell Canyon and Bear Canyon, which converge near the namesake Hell Point. Settlement is sparse, represented by the small community of Mack and the isolated Cedar Glade Cemetery near the western boundary. A sophisticated system of livestock water management is evident throughout the terrain, with numerous named tanks such as Wagon Tire Tank, Bettys Tank, and Lucky Tank supporting ranching activities. The transition from high mesas like Red Butte and Bald Hill down into the deep incision of Bull Basin Canyon illustrates the complex erosion typical of the Yavapai and Coconino county borderlands.
