About this map

Prescott National Forest dominates the eastern half of this landscape, where the high elevations of the Black Hills create a network of canyons and peaks. The transition from the residential expansion of Prescott Valley in the west to the high-country terrain of Mingus Mountain and Hickey Mountain illustrates the complex topography of central Arizona. A dense network of trails, including the Yeager Canyon Trail and Gaddes Trail, provides access to deep drainages like Haywood Canyon and Lang Canyon.

Significant historical mining and ranching activity is evident through the presence of the Yaeger Mine and numerous livestock tanks such as Butterfly Tank and Woodchute Tank. The terrain is punctuated by reliable water sources like Yaeger Mine Spring and Coyote Spring, which were vital for the development of these mountainous uplands. This survey provides a precise view of the interface between growing desert communities and the protected forest lands that define the region's geography.
