2011 Map of Hillside

About this map

Hillside and Yava serve as the primary focal points of this 2011 survey, situated within a topography of drainages and peaks in Yavapai County. The settlement of Hillside is positioned at the base of Hillside Peak, where Weekes Ranch Rd and Pecks Peak Rd converge. Further north, the settlement of Yava sits along Ally Wash, near where the terrain transitions into the Thompson Valley. The map documents a complex hydrological network essential to this arid environment, including Mine Tank, Carter Flat Spring, and the S Fork Santa Maria Riv. To the west, the McCloud Mountains rise above Lawler Creek, while the northern reaches are dominated by Bismark Mountain and the distinct Wild Hog Basin. This topographical record captures the modern footprint of ranching access roads and isolated water sources that have historically sustained these high-desert communities.
